Whoa, I went through EXACTLY the same thing, several years ago. I feel your pain, and I know you're hurting because I remember how bad I felt. There is no quick fix, and everything you do or think about will remind you of her or make you think about her.
About your job, "not for someone looking for someone" I understand that too. In fact your whole story is almost identical to mine. I still think about those times and it makes me very angry. The only thing that got me through those hard times was my job, where I could physically exhaust myself, come home and work out(since there was no longer a female to take up my time) and then pass out and hope for death. I used to drink, I remember my kitchen being completely full of beer cans and bottles, stacked/tossed everywhere. I decided it was time to buy a bike and start cheating death. I rode at 180mph on my friend's Gixer and I thought of her and wished that if I died, she'd be sorry for leaving me.....I tried a lot of scary stunts on the freeways, and I raced whatever I had the keys to(large portions of my day I test drive people's cars, you see).
Somehow I knew not to push too far though... I guess I can thank good parenting for that. I knew there were limits. So, I never touched illegal drugs, never shot & killed my ex and her new b/f, although I did imagine how good/bad/wrong/justified it might feel.... and eventually, after a lot of boose, a lot of foolishness at high speeds, a lot of stupidity out in public, I finally calmed down, or at least accepted the fact that she was gone and it was time to move on and stop torturing myself.
In the end, I was in better shape, because I had all this freetime to work out, I was doing better at my job, willing to start early and stay late and work 12's, I learned that I don't really like to get totally ****faced drunk, and I learned to ride a mean wheelie at freeways speeds. Then I met an 18yr old Asian girl..
