There are rehab resources for those in financial need - Salvation Army, for example. Working the AA program and being connected to others who also do has lead me on a path of 3 + years of sobriety. I have many friends with 5-10-20-30 years of sobriety who work the program.
We all were nervous but the other outcomes - jails, institutions or death outweighed this.
Steep yourself in meetings, It will screw up your drinking likely.
