I recently got charged with a misdemeanor and now I cannot find a job. All of this because I was drinking; I have stopped that but the consequences of my actions keep following me. I am broke. I have a Masters degree and am now unemployable in my field, or any field it seems. I just don’t know what to do. I am afraid of pain. I am a wreck. I don’t know what to do. I am thirty nine and my life seems over. I have blown everything due to my drinking in the past. It has been almost ninety days now since my last drink and I don’t want to drink again. I guess I just had to say this in an anonymous forum; thanks for listening

I’m sorry you’re feeling so bad. I have different demons, but demons nonetheless, so I know how you must be feeling. This can be a good place to get it all off your chest and to connect with others. I hope you’ll find some peace very soon.
It’s so easy to become unemployable. To ruin your life forever. I was fired for having severe ADHD, and now no one will even look at my application. And they always ask if you’ve ever been fired.
Thats really good that you’ve gone that long without drinking you should be proud of yourself at least thats something your working on the main problem thats a start
If you’ve ever been diagnosed with depression or any other mental illness, consider applying for disability (SSDI). It takes a while, but if you’re approved it can be enough money to survive.
In response to your title, “Yes things can get worse and it might.” Sorry to be so honest.
