Hi ~ Since the others have admitted they have a problem, are they not going to do something about it?? Are they just going to keep drinking??
I know what you mean about not having a lot of friends. All my friends flew the coop when I quit drinking -- so even tho most of the people in my home group were older than I was, a bunch of us became friends anyway and we had a great time together. Another couple (one was my cousin) and my husband and I started going boating/fishing together all the time or we'd go camping. Never any alcohol of course. Then our AA group would usually have social activities thru the year too. I made a lot of friends thru AA.
I don't know if you're going to meetings or not -- but it would be a good idea. Perhaps you don't like the "God" talk -- well you can take what you like and leave the rest. You don't have to believe in that. Anything can be your "higher power" -- it doesn't have to be God. Just so it's something greater than YOU. 
Best of luck -- I hope things work out for you. Please take care. Hugs, Lee
