Welcome, zmanoh -
Alcohol will definitely take more and more out of your life - it's good that you see it's affecting you in a negative way and want to make changes.
It's really not that uncommon for people who abuse alcohol to have other addictions and/or other issues (depression, anxiety, childhood trama, bipolar, etc.). I found that getting sober first was the key to dealing with anything and everything else in my life.
Glad you're here - it's be a lifeline for me!
