You’re right, brother, you do deserve better. Here’s a couple of conversations that are exactly about your question - how do we get and stay sober and comfortable inside our own skin?
There are so many helpful resources available to us on our sober journeys. I wanted to share this list for those who are interested in non traditional resources.
Please note: I created this thread with alcohol recovery in mind and it is U.S. based as well. As a straight white past middle age woman (SassyRocks), it is based on what resonated and helped me in my journey.

2 days ago I celebrated my 2 years sober again. Again, because years ago I had a long stretch of sober days too but relapsed after 5 years.
