Go flip burgers if you have to. Room up with someone, even use craigslist to find a roomie if you want. Ride a bike until you have the cash to get a decent car, or sell yours for what it's worth and keep saving, pedaling along until you have what you need. It's not like you'll be the only one riding as bike. I see plenty. Get a loan if you can. Do what you have to now to survive, and deal with the paybacks later. It's all about survival, while not taking away anyone else's ability to survive as well. I think you've already passed the cash for clunkers deal, so that was stupid on your part but in times of depression, people do stupid things. I get that, really.
You just need to suck it up and move on man. I lost my whole family on one side and gained a new one. It brought me down a bit even though I disowned them willingly, but in the end I was so much better off. Things will change, you just have to trudge through it until then. When you have your head on straight, those that knew you before will forgive you. Trust me, I know from personal experience.

You really seem ignorant. Let me elaborate on some things.
1. People die from ODs quite often.
2. Not all cars qualify for Cash for Clunkers. For instance, the car must be no older than 1997. Also, the car must be traded in for a new (and expensive) vehicle, and the monthly payments can be bank-breaking.
3. He can't get a loan if he has bad credit, and no family assistance.
4. Marines are not Soldiers. Even a remorseful former-Marine like myself resents that remark.
5. The Marine Corps will break your spirit like nothing else, especially once you get back into society. In fact, the Corps has a very high suicide rate for obvious reasons. I myself have been down that route.
6. It's not quite so easy to get a job flipping burgers these days.
