Came to the realization today that drinking at a bar among strangers was the exact same as - or even worse, and more desperate than - drinking by myself.

You, too josh. Thank you. It’s nice to be aware of a larger presence of individuals who keep you engaged and honest through drying out. I appreciate you reaching out. Keep at it - 100 days and counting for you? Almost 4 digits in no time.

I never understood drinking at a bar. Of course I am not a big crowd kinda guy.
I agree it’s very lonely and not worth it

I used to go to bars alone, and then feel annoyed when people tried talking to me. Like, I didn't actually want to socialize; I just didn't want to be alone with my thoughts at home. I could have saved myself a lot of money if I had just chosen to be a hermit from my couch rather than from a bar stool...

...exact same
People say drinking helps them socialize, but it really closes you off to others. The person who ends up talking to people using “social lubricants” isn’t the real you. I’m still trying to get through that concept but when it was told to me it really made sense to me.
