Hope for All!
Good Morning!
Today is roughly one month for me - last drink was 4 weeks ago today. I just wanted to encourage everyone to keep it up. What I am finding is that I am clear, present, and the problems I used as excuses to drink are much easier to deal with while clear and present.
I have a dash of many challenges - separation/divorce, debt (that was incurred while on a 2 year party train!), elderly parents, and the recent death of my only sibling. I also have anxiety and depression.
I am just sharing this with the idea that those that are experience some or all of these issues will know that, in my experience, they seem much more manageable and much less - HUGE - than when I was drinking.
Bright spots - wonderful friends,a fantastic daughter, a boyfriend that thinks I am all that and a bag of chips (we are doing the sober thing together), a roof over my head, and a self-employed career that, while challenging and is not paying quite enough yet, gives me the flexibility to care for my parents and my daughter.
Happy Sunday - and tonight is a New Moon - wish for all that you desire and write your Law of Abundance check!

Congrats on one month, that is awesome! 
I'm sorry that you're having to go through this. Non of what you listed is easy, each are big challenges. You've come to the point that you recognize that alcohol doesn't help, it only makes it worse. That's a big step in getting well!
