Something like a hacker school or working on open source code is where I'd put my energy. We hire people without formal CS backgrounds fairly often into trial type positions... and they tend to quickly move out of those and into tech lead positions.
The trick will just be getting interviewed and getting the first job. Honestly I suspect you have more background than you realize from being seeped in CS stuff through your entire adult life. I'd be tempted to start interviewing now for SDET, support engineer, etc roles and see what the feedback is and use that to direct future learning.
