I think it's much more common than you think - especially since Covid. You're definitely not alone - I can certainly relate to some aspects, more than I would like.

I have some observations:

- you indicate in the comments that you expected more from sobriety. We all do - I was in a similar situation as you. Think of it as a building block - being sober, in itself is not a sufficient condition, but it's definitely a necessary one. And frankly, congratulations to you - it's already a huge achievement.

- why did you move to a country where you don't speak the language ?

- It seems to me, that you aim to do something meaningful, work with people etc. Well, as with alcohol, you need to answer yourself honestly some questions - one of which is why do you stay at this job ? It doesn't seem like there is a path to making friends there (team remote) and it's not interesting.
