Anyways as has been said get to AA, get a sponsor and work the steps. What happened to me in all my years is getting back to no money, driving ****** cars etc...build my way back up...money in pocket and nice cars...back to no money, driving ****** cars and keep repeating...man those years fly by...before you know it you will be 48, then 58...without a pot to **** in, on your own and driving your **** box of a car...you might still have your old copy of dale carnegie's how to win friends and influence people or such like though;-)

Good luck man, a new life is there for the taking...get to a meeting and get a fresh start:-)
