>>>Well, that's not why I am taking the out of state job. In fact it will be more of a challenge to stay sober off by myself in some temporary living arrangement. Simply put, I need the money and have not been able to find work around here. You know as well as anyone how little VFP work there is. And I have had no luck finding .NET work. It's tough to make a transition any time and in this economy, when companies say they want A, B, C, and D, they mean it. There are a lot of openings but they all seem to want at least 3 years of experience in the particular .NET language.

Be realistic. It won't. You have repeatedly demonstrated that your top priority is your drinking. Your daughters were supposed to keep you from drinking because you never drank around your daughters. You posted that here yourself. You also mentioned here on the UT that drinking has cost you a job before. A new job has proven not to work. It is time to get real and get help. Nothing will stop an addict from drinking other than real help from qualified specialists. Look into centers that specialize in it no matter how inconvenient it is. Find a sponsor where you are going to be working at the very minimum. Contact him/her NOW before you start your job.
