Ancient agoraphobic and games addict, after a breakup I try to socialize more, have a better lifestyle, have a purporse... Beginning was hard but after several months, I notice some change, especially with my entourage, people stay with the lonely and weird guy I was. I've still have some difficulties, but far less that before, and pain, the limit point of huge pain and rage against myself, was the trigger. You will not be alone forever, keep going all of you!
I would not be 5 years alcohol free if it was not for the pain. The pain had me at a crossroads… I could not take it anymore… the pain. Had I not experienced the pain I would still be an alcoholic
