Unhappy Struggling

I have struggled with alcohol abuse for many years, and lost my marriage last year because of it. I have done better for awhile - drinking only on weekends, etc. but have come to the conclusion that I need to quit drinking all together - although I have no idea how I'm going to do it. I tried AA before but wasn't at all comfortable with it. I see a therapist and am on anti-depressant medication, but when the weekends come around I am VERY challenged to stay sober. Any support anyone can offer would be much appreciated, as I know this is going to be a mighty task. I have so much remorse from my marriage and I moved to a new state where I live alone and have few friends and no family. I am horrifically lonely here. The one bright spot is that my career is going relatively well, but I'm afraid drinking my jeopardize it unless I quit. I am terrified that I am going to end up alone for the rest of my life.
