Loneliness drives more people to the Gin Mill than almost any other single factor - perhaps even the compulsion to drink.
In the old days when our society was objectionable to all our old friends, we would from sheer boredom go to the bar just to talk to someone. Anyone's conversation was preferable to our thoughts. The drink was frequently an incidental.
Boredom is still one of our worst enemies. If you have an AA club, there is always some guy you can try to help. Regardless of your effect on him, the experience is bound to help you and will relieve you of your blues.
