I agree with the alcoholism interpretation. It's rather direct. However, Id like to point out that this song switches from past tense to present. The verses are present- as if the narrator is reflecting back on how it felt. The chorus may be stating how he finally got through the stage in his life, because he may have lost his best friends, but hasn't.
