How can an addict not only get sober but be happy?

Hi, I'm an addict who has suffered from alcoholism since age 13(5 years) The only way i have been able to stay sober is turning off my phone and deactivating my facebook. Yet when i do that the loneliness takes over and i become unstable. It just seems weird that in order to stay sober, i have to shut myself off from all human contact. I have no friends who don't drink and my whole family does. I'm also a pessimist, and an athiest. So I truly have a hard time finding something meaningful in life.Staying sober isnt hard, i mean if i sleep for 12 hours a day then is that making me a good person? I just don't know what to do.
