Hi Curt...wow what a coincidence...it has been 18 months for me too. Trust me, I still live with it everyday as well. Like everytime I walk into my house and it is a disaster or every time I look in the mirror and I notice how much weight I have gained. I think how easy it would be to go out and but some crank so that I can come home and clean my house. I am sure you know what I mean.
I only wish you were my neighbor because I would be knocking on your door this Sunday and dragging you to my Church. I do not know if you have ever been to Church. Maybe you have and you have a bad taste and maybe not. Either way, keep in mind that not all Churches are equal. I promise you that if you look long and hard, you will find a Church out there with people in it that will totally turn your life around. I drive 10 miles every Sunday morning, down a rock (sometimes muddy)road to a little church that is over a 125 years old. In side that little house I have found more friends, more happiness, and more satisfaction then I have ever felt in my life. It is true, it will happen when it happens, but no one ever knows when their time is up and if it happens with out any warning, you may never have the chance for it to happen, and that would be sad. I don't mean to preach and I am sorry if it sounds that way. If you can't bring yourself to go to Church, and I know that is a huge step, do yourself a favor and read the book "purpose driven life". It really opened my eyes to a whole new outlook on life. It may, no, it will, help you with that emptiness you feel inside you...
I am not perfect and trust me, I will fall down again and again on my journey, the important thing is, is that I recognize that it is the devil working on me and I get back up and start walking again. He will pull you down every chance he gets...don't let him.
If you struggle with whether there really is a God, I would think of it in the terms that "I would rather live my life like there is and find out that there isn't then it live my life like there isn't and find out there is....hell doesn't sound like a very fun place and I ain't taking no chances!!! In addition if you start living life the way that God intended you to, not only will you make it to Heaven but your life on earth will be a lot more enjoyable for you and everyone around you. : ) ....enough said for now. Have a good one! I will be praying for you Curt.
