If you had killed several pedestrians on the way home in your car that night, would you now be moaning about the consequences for those actions?

If you have the money, use it on yourself - go to Betty Ford, or Hazelden, or The Priory...hell, go to Crossroads in Antigua.
There are thousands of lesser known rehabs too - any one of them could be the start of a new chapter for you...
But do something, inabadway - it's never too late for a second chance.

Before you know it those days do add up.
I would also suggest that you check out AA or a secular support group if it is more to your taste. You will not find any misplaced sympathy or an audience for your self pity there but some genuine support and guidance from people who have been there before.
Recovery can be a tough journey but the rewards are worth it. Whether or not you chose to take the first step is up to you.

Thanks for your honesty 
You may find your perspective on all of this situation changing with sobriety (maybe, maybe not but I suspect it might shift a bit) but I know, for myself, I had to make that first step and I had to really WANT it ... for ME. I hope you find the help you're looking for and I wish you the best of luck.

To Life Will Get Bet,
I am writing because you are saying what I did while drinking myself to sleep everynight.
I had it backwards: thought drinking was necessary due to my life problems that were unmanageable;
Also thought I would drink better if I knew what was wrong with me...
At my first AA Meeting I found out no more drinking for me, yuk!!!
yo
Well, after some time in Sobriety I found out 1) I am the problem and need to work on a solution or solutions in my life and 2) alcohol feeds the addictions and make the problems not just unmanageable but can be even life threatening if not treated.
I hope this make sense and/or helps you see something in here that you relate to.
Best of luck and Be Blessed!!!
