Honestly, the actual "housing" is not the biggest issue. It happened to me too and I wasn't a drinker, druggie or anything like. It is sometimes just a real s*itstorm of bad luck that snowballs. And yes, most of the time it gets magnified if you are an introvert...with no network. If you are already on the edge any little thing can tip you over and in this country, the rules about needing a mailing address, phone number etc can really slow down the recovery process. I spent a month with a family member I despise, then got a job with room/board included and then moved out of state. Sometimes starting over requires big moves. I had to eat a massive dead crow...but in the end I suppose it was worth it.
