Don't hesitate to see a Dr if you think you need to, tho, ok? 
Like I said you'll find a lot of support and ideas here - you're not alone - we get it.
Read around and post as much as you like - there's a lot of approaches here

You're scared because you should be. That's your rational voice attempting to over-power your addict voice to make you realize what you're doing to yourself before you spiral further out of control. I ignored those feelings (using more alcohol) for years, like a lot of addicts do.
My advice (if you want to stop drinking) would be to go to your doctor and tell him/her the full extent of your alcohol problem and what effect it is having on your life and go from there.
I hope things get better for you.

Get to a doctor, be honest about your drinking for this time and you may be surprised at the avenues of help that open up. This site is one and there are lots more. As has been said, most importantly you must want to stop and to change your future.
It could be bleak if you choose alcohol over help.
God bless.

The promise is that in time it WILL get better

Chyna, please please PLEASE do not try to do this without medical attention. It will be ok. I promise you are not the first woman to have drunk away a week.
Your daughter needs you. Please be wise and seek medical attention immediately.
I don't know if you know this (I did not until recently) but alcohol withdrawal can be deadly. Moreso then heroin. Yes, you might be one of the lucky ones, but with the length of time you have been drinking straight, chances are you will need professional detox.
From what I understand , it's much more comfortable not to mention safer !
Please be well.

It's never too late, until we're dead. how old is she?
If you take steps to get sober then you can start to show you are capable of looking after her and take steps to getting her back. It's a great incentive to get sober
Nothing will change if you keep drinking.at least she's in a safe place for her now.
did you see your doc?
