I'm so sorry your grandmother treats you this way. She does indeed sound like a dry drunk. There is nothing wrong with you. You're an addict in recovery, and that takes tenacity and courage. You said you should have avoided your grandmother at all costs when you're feeling emotional, and I think you've given yourself great advice there. You don't need someone emotionally abusing you when you're getting sober-- or at any time for that matter.

As for the friends thing, I lost all my friends when I got sober, too. But I realized they weren't really friends nearly so much as drinking buddies. And it does get better! I've been sober for over 12 years now, and I am so thankful for every day of sobriety. I wish you luck and success on your own road to recovery.
