Stop drinking, even if just for 1 day, go volunteer at a soup kitchen, homeless shelter, or church, serve a meal to the homeless, and envision YOURSELF, as one of them.
A LOT of "those people" once upon a time, had careers, health, family, friends, a job, maybe a mortgage, and a LIFE.
If it can happen, to THEM, it will surely happen, to YOU, if you don't find SOME purpose, or goal, or forward trajectory.
Ask yourself, if THAT is where you would like to end up ? Then, ask THEM, how things got so bad, they ended up in your food line. Serving the homeless will accomplish several things, for you:
1). It will show you how you DON'T want end up.
2). It will make you feel good about yourself, for the day
3). It will keep you sober, for a little while
4). You will make some new friends - in person
5). It will make you think, and perform some self-introspection
6). It just MIGHT help you decide to "shit-or-get-off-the-pot ?
