	<description><![CDATA[<p>I've heard a lot of stories about alcoholics saying they didn't feel like they fit in. Also, and possibly related, they weren't big "joiners" of clubs, organizations, etc.</p><p>Is this universal or what is going on here? Is the addiction itself making us isolate so we have to treat this part as well, stay connected?</p>]]></description>
