Hi, Jill, and yes, it DOES sound like you have a problem - a big one, but one that you can conquer if you have the drive and the help, if you need it. DEFINITELY get to a meeting, and if you find it's not for you, try another one, and if not, there are other alternatives. How much/how long are you drinking? Any chance of really bad withdrawls? If so, do you have insurance and could you get to a safe place - like a detox clinic - to help? With liver failure, this might be a necessity. Talk to your dr., and be honest! it might be a matter of life and death at this point!
Many have been in your shoes, and still done it, so you can to!! I've also suffered from depression for 18 years now, but I have a good dr. who helps me cope. Alcohol is also a depressant and is not helping you in that aspect.
You can do it and we're here to help, but the most important decision is up to you.
Good luck and I hope you stick around!
