I hope you feel better soon Mr. Jones.
As I know personally and I'm sure others here do as well cutting the bar out of your life is not easy but well worth it. Once you get past that urge to check in at the bar your world will get brighter. I never went to AA but some good friends have and the people you will meet there will end up being real friends the way no bartender or barflies ever will.
Tomorrow instead of going to the bar, try going to the coffee shop to tend to your scratchers. Maybe go to the animal shelter and get yourself a dog. Dogs are excellent friends and while walking your dog you will get exercise, fresh air, and meet new people. That dog will end up being your best friend. I don't mean to preach I just know that life is better after cutting out that daily stop at the bar. Get well soon Mr. Jones.
