Things have gotten out of hand
I'm becoming depressed, my savings are gone, it's time for a change in my life. I'm slowly killing myself and I've decided I've had enough. It isn't fun anymore. I'm going to use the pills I got to come off drinking and look for support in my community.

I don't have supportive friends, over the last few years I've distanced myself from most people because they were drug users. I have intended to quit for a long time now, it's taking longer than I hoped for.
There is plenty of support here 24/7 365 days a year ;-). And if you are referring to AA meetings, I'm certain that if you call your local chapter or even a nearby one someone would give you a ride. And even if that's not possible there are AA meetings online every day, just google "online AA meetings". All you have to do is ask, and don't be afraid to do so.

Just as alcohol creates artificial highs, it creates artificial lows as it leaves your system. Giving up alcohol will help you to feel better and think of ways to improve your situation. When we poison ourselves we are making bad situations unnecessarily worse.
Instead of finding reasons why things won't work, how about making a list of things you can do today?
It isn't easy, but as Scott suggests, there is plenty you can do right now.
One thing that will help a great deal to distract yourself is a deep clean of your apartment--scrub, declutter, wash your sheets and do some self-care for yourself.
Also, healthy food is pretty important for recovery--whole foods made from scratch can be inexpensive, tasty, and help you heal.
There are so many cooking tutorials online now, even if you don't usually cook, you can make some excellent food.
You can do this--you can totally change your trajectory and quicker than you think
Wishing you the best
