Except for my family, I tend to be a loner too. I have no friends of my own that I can just call up and make plans with. I have plenty of "friends" but they are all my husband's friends. But I couldn't hide my drinking. Just tried to hide how much I was drinking.

I have plenty of me time, working from home and being a housewife. But it is more pleasant now ... not waiting and waiting for 5pm so I can have that first drink.
