Yup. I know.
Sometimes there's this rift that forms between what one knows and how one acts. Sometimes it's hard to close that rift in the heat of the moment.

Jacques, we are going through the exact same thing, only I've finally resolved my problem by getting a 70hr/wk job very very far away from where I currently live. As much as I'd rather just be hanging out day-to-day, having a job makes everything seem so much more worthwhile. It took me a long time to find a job - I was getting turned down left and right too. But finally a great opportunity came my way. Perseverance. That's all I can say.
I've been spending lots of time by myself lately, even when I am working (my uncle is letting me do some construction stuff from him from time to time when he's gone..). You're right, it eats away at you like nothing else. I find myself sad for no reason, and my creativity rots, as OMR said. I did write a song last night, but I had to force myself to do it for quite some time.
We have a lot in common brother, I see so many similarities in us by the way you post. You take care, and know that you're not alone. It's a rough situation you're in. It's going to take a lot of will to pull yourself out. Stand up for the cause and be empowered. There's a select few of us willing to really get down to business, and I will gladly welcome you to the team. =]
You are too smart to feel this way. Life is short.
(by the way, I'm on a break from pot too.. and all my pothead friends keep calling me to see if I have pot to smoke them up with yet [idiots, they're getting a kick to the curb].. but I'm not going back for just any reason. This clarity is beautiful, and I'm much more honest with myself while I'm sober.)

Apply to as many places as possible. Then when you start getting calls back you'll have options.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Consider yourself hired right now. Your current occupation is job hunter. If you're any good at your job then you can quit.
