I feel your pain, as I also find myself turning to the bottle when I am bored, alone, and too much free time on my hands. I spent my birthday alone this past weekend, and turned to the bottle as a way to trick myself into believing I am having a "great" birthday.
And the celebration continued for almost a week. I am still alone, bored, and nothing but free time. Booze only made these feelings stronger!
Know that you are not alone, and you deserve to be happy and free.
