If you look at the vast majority of recovered addicts they developed a sense of purpose and a place in their community with friendships and maybe even a relationship which ig gives them a reason to quit, but how often do you see a genuine socially excluded autistic loner alcoholic who successfully overcame their addiction whilst still being a full on outcast? It's just observations like these that make me believe there's no hope I'll ever overcome my alcoholism and that I will eventually succumb to it
