I was not living under a bridge either. I am also on my own and I don't have a spouse. I have to work a job while I am in the process of recovery.
I have called off work. I called it a mental health day. I needed to take the day to sort out some things. I was on an emotional roller coaster. I talked on chat here, I called my sponsor and I went to three AA meetings that day.
I would call that guy and get back on track. He obviously understands and is willing to help. He is reaching out to help, all you have to do is reach out and accept the help and hold on.
