You will notice I edited out the part "...to her about my drinking," because I think the issue, from your girlfriends perspect, is that you LIED. Period. If you lied about drinking, what else did you lie about? That's what is running through her head.

I don't have the answer for how you can regain her trust. For some women (and men for that matter) lying, cheating, those are lines in the sand that once crossed, it's over.

But if you stay recovered, and show with actions, not words, where your life is headed, you might work things out.

In the meantime, focus on your recovery, not on trying to rectify the past with your gf.
