Sorry to hear your circumstances AW. But most importantly do not give up. I am 105 days sober and don't regret getting sober one bit today. It can be done.
I can also relate a bit since I had a bad time in my life due to drinking. My relatives would lose their respect and trust for me and I was basically left without a home. I moved to a "friend" to live and did live for some time with drug-dealers. It has left no trauma, instead I think it has made me a better person. Wherever you go, remember that you can always start building your life into any direction you want. Location doesn't have to be a limitation since travelling these days should be quite versatile. Good luck anyway and keep SR close.
