6 months sober

Which is the longest for like - ever - for me. I am a 34 yr male. But I have reached a point where a strong urge to taste alcohol - and the intoxication along with it - has returned strongly.

This has to do with a lot of life circumstances, and the point I am currently. I am in a situation where I am not allowed to drink still because of housing and finances, so I am 'waiting'. I need to find a stable income and my own place to stay, as I moved back to my parents last year after getting divorced.

Sobriety has been good, but I feel depressed and I am without motivation to stay positive and focused. Things are going 'okay' but I am just in a general state of despair and even disbelief. I feel I do not enjoy a sober life and it is scary as hell. Any advise or helping words appreciated - maybe from someone who's been sober for as long or longer. Thanks in advance.
