My mom always said happiness is an inside job. Sure there a lot of people in this world who are miserable, and some of them happen to be alcoholics (sober and active). Just like you've got to be willing to work to get sober, you've got to be willing to work for well-being. And if there are legitimate mental health issues like depression or anxiety causing people to feel miserable, they should look for help on that too. Life is challenging, and life is beautiful.
