Human Damon

So just saw an edit that reminded me of the finale(been quite some time since I watched so the details are fuzzy). But was genuinely wondering how would damon even realistically survive as a human. Few points -

  1. Even if vampire healing kept his liver intact, dependence is psychological as far as I understand. Wouldn't he have INSANE withdrawal symptoms because of the amount of bourbon he drank like water?

  2. The documents! He would need probably Caroline to compel officers to get him forged documents, right?

  3. Anger issues and therapy. Where would he find a therapist to go through all that? Considering he can't resort to violence anymore and elena is not a doctor/therapist immediately after he turns human?

  4. Occupation. I don't think he has any qualifications or any explicit interest in learning throughout the series. Maybe he opens a bar and become a househusband though it's so against his established image?

  5. Also in general, him being human just feels weird because he comes off as a prideful character and I think every vampire has the wish to be human but only few can actually sustain it. Damon is not one of those imo, he derives thrill from being a vampire, like kinda a love-hate relationship? Maybe my interpretation is off though?
