A lot of interesting things you can do involve getting your act together, getting sober and acting like an adult.

For example, you could quit drinking, save up some money and come visit Rome, Italy. The vatican crypts are open to the public and are fascinating. Some find them holy and reverent, others find them creepy and spooky.

You can also travel to Africa. I think I told you this story once, when you spoke of your love of bats. I know a couple that travelled to the middle of nowhere (I forget the country but could find out if you like) Africa for the sole purpose of seeing the world's rarest bat. They got on some shoddy bus and travelled through the dessert for 2 hours until they came to a hole in the ground which led to a cave. There they descended for hours with headlamps and finally came upon this underground cave where the world's rarest bat lives.

How did they manage that? By living a clean, healthy life, saving up money and making plans for do-able and legal activities that interest them.

As someone else mentioned, you can contact local churches about tours and such. You can visit cemeteries if that interests you.
