1992 Chevy Cavalier Loose Steering

There is so much play in the steering that at this point I am unable to drive it. Its not making any kind of nose at any time. Its just very sloppy and so much play that its difficult to estimate how much I need to rotate the steering wheel in order to make a turn. I'm surprised that I haven't been pulled over for drunk driving do to its almost impossible to keep it straight going down the road.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Debbie
