Impossible question part 2... drift align.. driving me crazy

Thanks for all the advice guys has been very good
But I think all my dreams have come to an end
I set the scope up as I should ...all level... found true south….set up possie for...145e 37s all perfect
As I said polar align very hard very faint extra light pollution right under where it should be
You all said drift align was the way to go ..done research found stars to track ( was the pointers )
was to high they said I had to be lower around 30 deg’s ….. Just about cant see anything in the sky at that level….light….hills...trees... so very little chance of drift align so I’m now snookerd all dressed up and now where to go except ebay or selling section here look out for it, might find a bargain over $3000+ equipment not even seen a nubula or a galaxy yet let alone take photo’s.
