Were you in full time employment whilst doing all this?

Yes. Lonely people have a lot of time. It is rarely an issue. Motivation is.
OP complains about dreadful 60 hours and not about being too busy. I can relate.
My problem is something like this. I'm shy at meeting people, yet working out with someone can distract me from this free time. When I have free time I drink. The cycle is unique... I don't know how to explain it but "dreadful free time" ... that's the best i have heard yet.
