Welcome to SR! A lot of us used to drink to deal with emotional issues. Or at least we thought we did at the time. Over time the alcohol isn't deal with your problems, it is your problem.
The old test is, if you think you have a problem you probably do! Taking a break from drinking is probably a good idea. It sounds like you've drank enough for long enough that you maybe don't really know how you'll feel without the booze. There are other ways to deal besides drinking, but you can't really experiment with them until you stop.
SR is a great resource! I think you'll like it here.
