How am I supposed to get sober when my alcoholism is due to me being subhuman?

[trrrrrsarescary]

Ive heard many accounts that getting sober whilst not working on your issues is actually more painful than being an active alcoholic and I agree based on how I felt during dry periods, but the thing is being ugly and the social isolation resulting from it isn't something I can really change or work on, noticing people being visibly repulsed by my appearance is and will be an ongoing thing, the stares and peoples abject reactions to me is what got me into this mess with alcohol in the first place because it's absolutely fucking agonizing to know I'm not doing anything wrong and people just fucking hate me at first sight because my face doesn't look like everyone else's, how is anyone supposed to accept that even with therapy and medication?

It's thoughts like these that makes me believe I will succumb to alcoholism in the future because I don't understand how it's possible to just accept this shit

Just drink, but not in large quantities.

It’s difficult when the bottle is your only friend

Sprite is nice, but mountain dew is goated and cola is kinda soft

Good question, I don't think it's possible. I just switched alcohol for another substance.

The problem isn't being ugly, it's how you cope with being ugly. I would advise you to look into buddhism. 5 cents please?

Think about the immediate negative effects of drinking (fucks up the sleep, performance next day, feel like shit, etc). Consider ignoring anything long-term/big-picture. At least what I think makes sense for people who feel they have no future anyway.
