27M -- Don't want anything in life but a 9 to 5 by myself to afford booze after work + a small 1 bedroom apartment.

You are speaking very generally. My father did the same routine (go to work in the morning, get drunk in the evenings) and he is not as you describe. He is almost 70 and somehow still has retained liver, heart, and brain function on par with a non-alcoholic. Or so it seems anyway. He enjoys a drink after work but it is not as though he doesn't go out and do things.

I have tried pursuing counseling, finding hobbies, temporarily leaving my bubble, etc. Nothing works. I say that not to be self-pitying but just stating where I am coming from. When you are unable to find joy in life through conventional means, you have to think outside of the box. I would rather be at home playing XBox under the effects of alcohol than anything else I can think of. Just trying to find a job that can accommodate my lifestyle without annoying the fuck out of me like my current job.
