Nathan, to go cold turkey might be it it it might not be. It's an individual thing.
Your situation though is a bit extreme. You are still a very young guy with your whole life ahead of you but you have a lot or responsibility towards your family, some serious issues in your past and a serious drinking problem. That's an awful lot for even superman to handle so professional help can only be a good thing. You don't have to do this alone.
