I'm so sorry you feel this way. About two years ago I was going through the same thing and didn't know where to turn. My doctor had given me the number of a clinic the last time I'd seen her (she quit several years ago) and I must have saved it for a reason. Once I made the call for help, I felt a million times better. Maybe you could find a program, too. I had tried to quit alcohol so many times on my own, but that was too hard--and it didn't work.
Having someone on the journey with you makes it less isolating--you just have to reach out for that help. If you don't want to go to a meeting, call a hotline or a clinic. You won't have to say much, they know what to say to help you, and they won't strip you of your dignity. It's an illness, not a weakness of character.
Post if it helps,
antigua
