Hi Alex, I'm sorry that you're in such a difficult position. Do you have a friend you can stay with for a little while? For sure, stopping drinking is going to be the best way to find a new job and a new place to live. Have faith that you can turn things around.

Hiyas -- agreed that your first step should be sobriety. It'll be hard to make a cogent plan to deal with the other issues when your mind is clouded with drink.

Good luck, and stay strong.

Hi alexf91, for what its worth, make this forum a part of your daily reading and posting if you feel the need. It helps tremendously. You are so young, you can get this. You are light years ahead of many of us as you want to quit at such a young age. Wish you the best.

Keeping you in my prayers! I am also 24 dude and we can do this! I def don't want the rest of my 20s to include alcohol/drugs . Accommodation wise is there a sober living facility or a cousins/relatives/friends place you can stay at until you get back on your feet? Pray dude it does wonders try to go to a meeting and post on here daily

Keep us updated

Hi Alex,

I'm sorry you are in such a tough situation. Getting sober will allow you to approach things with a clear head. Did you find a place to stay? What kind of work do you do? Maybe someone can help you find something in your field.

You are still young, and have lots of time to enjoy life, and not waste any more time drunk. You will find lots of support on SR, glad you are here!

Drinking won't help and you'll need to be sober especially if you are facing these things. Maybe look into resources that may help you?
