I have to be really careful about this. Apart from work, I isolated for years and it was a big part of and reinforced by my drinking problem. Socializing with people is really hard for me, but I'm forcing myself to do it. I go to lots of AA meetings, plus therapy groups at a hospital for the drinking.

But it's especially bad on weekends.

It's also really hard for me right now as I'm unemployed - I'm going IP for a month in a couple of weeks, so I can't start job hunting until I'm through with that, but once I'm back working, I know it will be better.
