Time for a do-over!

I believe that even if you can't go back to rehab (which clearly hasn't worked for you up to this point anyway), you can still make a commitment now, today, to stop drinking. That seems like the obvious first step to digging yourself out of your hole. Whatever your drinking has done to hurt your girls you can start to make up for today by getting --and staying -- sober. You may have damaged them, but you have not "ruined their lives." Your home is in foreclosure but at least you have another place to stay. Maybe jail can be a positive thing that removes you from your current path and gives you time to contemplate the person you want to be and the life you want to have and to plan how to make that happen. Start over.

Best wishes to you and keep posting. You are not the person to be where you are and I believe you can turn it around, but YOU have to believe that, too!
