Hello!
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that it is hard to stop drinking.
I understand how you feel, but the best way to stop this habit is to stop it gradually ( every day less alcohol until stopping it).
A good way to improve the way you feel is to perform a lot of physical activity . Yoga can help too.
Another method is to consult with a psychotherapist or psychiatrist and start an antidepressant or psychotherapy.
I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!
Kind regards,
Dr.Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
