So where do I go from here?
Was thinking of maybe devoting a whole year to myself and just get laid off those dating site when I get desperate enough (unless of course I meet someone along the way). Focus on better job, better education possibly (night school?), never miss a gym session, stay sober. A year at almost 32 years old doesn't seem so bad when it could drastically improve my life.
Or is that too much an extreme? Obviously what I've been doing so far has not been working very well for me.

You've had the epiphany and are motivated as hell to better your situation. The spark is there. Moving forward you have to hold onto this mindset, this hope that your future could be anything you want. Take control and be selfish.
Absolutely spend more time on yourself, both physically and mentally.
Think about how xmas rolls around and you think "wow, this year has flown by, what have I actually achieved". Take a deep breath and do some soul searching, decide what you really want.
Don't put things off!There really is no "tomorrow"
Remember "tomorrow" never comes. Sure, it's comforting knowing a new day brings a clean slate, but there is nothing special about tomorrow, Your mindset from today will follow you into tomorrow, Stuck in a traffic jam? Work too hard? well........screw today, there's always tomorrow
And the cycle continues. A months worth of "Tomorrows" pass you by. "Wait till you see me in six months"
On and on and on... until you realise the only thing thats changed is the color of your hair and lines in your forehead.
It's scary making a change. Stepping out of a comfort zone paralyzes the majority folk. If you don't take a leap of faith NOW, December will roll around you'll be thinking "well, maybe next year will be better"
It's not going to be easy, but you CAN do it
