the tale of a man that wouldn't listen or take advice
I first logged in here over a year ago, I still had my family a job, and some friends. One year later, its all gone for the moment. I usually type long post, but this morning my time is better spent figuring out what I need to do and just doing it...... I don't need this one more minute.

You've spent much of your time in the past year, Jeremy, "figuring out" what to do, and then not doing it. You already know what to do and, as the title of your OP suggests, you never do it.
Your life seems to have become a "tale" or story about someone else but you, something that you read and write about but never act on. There is no benefit to having a victim story. No matter how much we romanticize our failures in our victim stories, the stories themselves are pointless.
What else will you have lost in a year if you don't participate in inpatient treatment?

prayers that when you stop trying to figure something out.. that you just take a minute to say in the mirror why what the Hell is this.. and know you have to have others to help.. prayers from a Wife of just such a man.. and love from just a lady clown with her own monkey on her back.. ardy

Jeremy, I still think that long term inpatient would be very beneficial for you (I have posted that how many times now?).
I am an AA member and also an SR member and it works for me.
Others do well with just AA alone, SR or any method out there and then others like you need something more intensive to get them started where they can focus on laying the foundation for lasting sobriety.
A year ago, you still had a job, a family and friends, well now you cannot use those anymore as an excuse not to go to inpatient since you lost all of that. Good news is that you are still alive and not in institutions and can rebuild your life IF you take time to lay a solid foundation.
The one thing you still have no matter what is our support and I hope you will listen to our suggestions for a change. We don't want you to lose your life
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.

If your lawyer can come up to a plea bargain involving inpatient rehab, it might be actually a blessing in disguise.
I still remember that banged up pict of you after a fall you posted a while back

You don't need to "figure out" what to do. You already KNOW what to do, when are you going to do it? Stop writing installments of your life story and start writing a new chapter in your life. You've had so many chances to make things right. Are you going to ignore them again and fall further?
