The problem that I see with your plan is that I see no plan to address your progressive, fatal disease. "Getting a fresh start" and "keeping busy" are not alcoholism treatment options.
Doing all this busywork is nothing but a distraction, a decoy to give you the illusion that you are "doing something" about your drinking.
My own suggestion is that you use the energy you would otherwise be using in moving, finding a new job and place to live, to address your alcohol and drug problems. Deal with the reality that is in front of you.
My two cents.
