Unhappy Looking for support

Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie to this, and will really be looking for support.
My quit date is tomorrow, and I have reached out for help through my employer. First counselling session is this Tuesday, and I hope to get into a program to help me.
Drinking is costing me my relationship, as a drunk has no filter on his mouth. My partner has been driven to have affairs, and I truly feel lost,broken and alone.
Help me please

Welcome to the family. The counseling can be of great help. Mine was to me.

Change,

You are not alone, I just joined today and the support is here. I am alcoholic and been sober for 5 days. The good about this forum that you can get a lot of stuff off your mind.

We can do this together change.

Thank you everyone

Today is day 1 for me, and I'm happy to have found a place to come to, and be welcomed warmly.People have told me that seeking help on your own is being brave, and I do so need it. counselling appointment tomorrow, and I hope to start letting go of everything locked inside for years. Not sure I can save my relationship, but do need to save me.
