Why not explore AA and see how that goes for awhile. You can talk with the folks at the meeting about the prospects of getting some kind of temporary employment until you get your feet on the ground and some sobriety going. It may be premature to rush it by trying to get employment equal to your former job right away. Once you build up some confidence and a track record which causes others to have confidence in you then it will be a better time to get the kind of job you had. First things first. Sobriety is the key to everything. Once you have a track record of that prospects will open up for you. Remember that a certain percentage of employers who interview you may have gone through what you're experiencing now. Show them that you can make the grade as they did.Good luck!
