The problem one here with no job or money for YEARS has spent more time and effort trying to hang on to his old life & friends than starting a new one. His old life is recreation, he considers himself a man of leisure. He has lost or dumped long time friends who have advocated change and aggressive effort to change his situation. He has made decisions based on how it would affect his recreational life including gym time since one of his personas is that of a "professional" athlete-not.
He has also kept his foot in the door with his ex in which their relationship had a predictable but abrupt break up. While seeing other people. Those other people have dumped him and included in the reason was that he would completely sever ties with the ex.
Personally I think in order to change things sometimes a new or fresh start that includes dumping or ignoring the old life that probably caused a lot of issues is best just to get a new life or maintain momentum on any changes you made. Go back at a later date but change is necessary to progress in life period.
