You are not alone. SR community is here- you know that, you posted. Booze isolates- I did. Go to a meeting, sit- listen, just be around people. Go to church and have a cup of tea after- to connect, go to the library- to connect, go to the community centre- to connect. Sit in the shopping precinct have a coffee and be around people. Do not drink. The first step is hard- but with effort it gets better. The above s exactly what I did, it is far, far better tha feeling alone
