Reggie,

I’ve felt the same way. Everyone around me drinks “normally.” I good jump off point for me was doing IOP (intensive outpatient). This helped me have the initial accountability and I got to meet a lot of people like me. I would look into this option!

I haven’t ever been able to find someone to whom I can relate in this journey. I’m a mom, I work full time, have a house, a husband, lots of friends... but I feel so isolated. Anyone feel like this? I have tried AA meetings in the past but I feel even more alone and isolated in those meetings. I feel like I have absolutely nothing in common with anyone there, other than a drinking problem.
How do I get support in order to succeed?
