W0w ... I'm truly sorry and empathetic to your situation man. If you can find your way out from underneath the addiction, I know you can make it through these hard times and find another way to make your ends met.
Just 2 years ago I was hemorrhaging money like a mad man. I was dropping sometimes $800/week for my oxys. When I got clean from that I thought there was nothing I could do to turn my life situation around. I couldn't afford my mortgage, was months behind on many expensive bills, and my health was just completely shot. I had lost 40lbs physically from just being a junkie that barely was able to show up for work (don't know how I didn't lose my job, nodding out at work, etc). But the old expression, "how do you eat an elephant? .... one bite at a time, right?" It took an entire year to develop a budget and find a way to consolidate a ton of debt. I've since paid off about 10-15k in debt but I still have quite a bit to go. If I stick to my plan though, I can be financially free from it all within the next 28 months and at least I can pay my bills now.
Just sharing a little bit of what I hope is encouraging. It's really tough moving past the poor choices we've made but there is another side waiting for you I'm sure. If ya tackle your life like you did this addiction over the last 6 days or so, I believe anything is possible for ya buddy. Praying for a good visit with the PO tomorrow and that everything works out!
