Having more than one vice seems to balance me out. As I am at pains to emphasise, it's only my alcohol use that I define as excessive. If I can't smoke weed, I drink more. People need to apologise. I can't feel secure until they do. That's actually professional advice from a counselor. Their bigotry made me an alcoholic, then they have the balls to blame me for drinking! - Making a TV show wouldn't resolve the issue. That's special treatment so others get rich. That's the opposite of treating me as a valid person IRL. If you're unable to treat me as a human being, then I'm not interested.
