Sounds like the professionals are telling you the EXACT same thing you have been told on this site over and over and over and over again. When you truly get miserable enough that you can't take it anymore I hope you will finally give AA a chance.
Your right the professional are. Maybe I have just given up . That's why I am isolating. I regret drinking yesterday. Today I have guilt shame and loathing to deal with.
