Social anxiety started me drinking, and then took on a life of its own, causing me to isolate so that I could drink more.

A big and hard part of my recovery was reconnecting with and rebuilding friendships with non-drinking friends. But I've done it, took about 5 years, and now I have a reasonable network of friends.

It is a vicious cycle, but it is possible to break it.
