If it wasn't clear what drinking is doing to your life before it ought to be pretty clear now. The "point" is to stop letting alcohol dictate your behavior and wreck your life, so you can recover and learn how to have the happiness that you deserve.
You were doing great there, up until "and drank."
Inspiration? There's a lot more self-respect to be found in sobriety than finding yourself with empty pockets, empty liquor bottles, and a raging hangover.
Good luck.
