Verres, I'm so sorry. I don't know what to say. 
However, and I say this with the mindset of somebody who also is completely unable to drink, not drinking isn't the worst thing in the world...
1. You save a **** load of money. If you smoke and quit that **** too, you save thou$and$ per year. (I used to smoke so I threw that one in as a bonus.  )
2. No hangovers.
3. No regrets.
4. No blackouts, no wondering "what did I do last night?"
5. No bad decisions that are alcohol induced.
6. A greatly reduced chance of being in compromising situations. ****, I'll just say it: a greatly reduced chance of being raped.
7. You won't have to worry about your car, or driving after drinking.
8. You're head will be clearer. Don't forget that alcohol is a depressant. Not exactly the sort of stuff you should be imbibing, you know...
9. No worries, now or in the future, of whether you're drinking too much.
Yeah, it's fun. So is going to the movies, playing with your kids (likely not relevant in your situation, but just wait - it's a blast), listening to music, etc etc etc etc. In time, you'll be surprised as to how little you miss it.
I'm serious, Verres. This is one cloud that's all silver lining.

I've always found nature the best drug i get of on. So its possible to find something for you in place of alcohol, and as has been mentioned, not drinking is mostly plus points
I had friends ages ago who were big into drugs etc. I always found it slightly disturbing they needed to be 'out of it' as much as they did. Reality may suck, and for some people worse than others, but at the end of the day you have the power to live the reality you choose to live. If other people are making your life hell then F**k them, cut them out and move on with your life(like listening to VJ's poison in this instance).
There are so many wonderful things in this life worth living for to see and take part in. Just take the time to find the ones for you.
For me, as i mentioned its nature - it really grounds me when the whole world seems like its going no-where, fresh air, trees, peace and quiet, animals.
Also i travelled the world on the cheap, meeting people of different cultures and shareing with them.
Sunrise in the desserts of Jordan with a bedwin family, seing in New year on the top of the great pyramid in Egypt, Eating crab with my tribe on the beach in Papua New Guinea.
Verres, there are many many wonderful things that make life worth living, so just work out what yours are and things will turn out fine, they really will, with or without alcohol 
Hmmm. I wish i could show you these things - but for each person they are a little different. I hardly drink and its never left me feeling like i've lost out on something. I just look at what it does to other people and know i made the right choice.
It wasn't an easy thing - i'm a rugby player/ex boxer etc, not a typical candidate by any strecth
Listen - good luck, stay well and come back and tell us what the good things in life for you are. Everything is possible, happiness most definately so. I had to battle with my demons during my life, but the hard fight paid off - i'm pretty indestructable these days and its in everyone to do the same.
