Anyone else struggling with alcoholism? It's ruining every single aspect of my life.
I've lost my job because of a DUI I've lost the love of my life because I can't control myself. I have to move back home this weekend because of the job situation. My parents are disappointed barely acknowledge me.
I just don't know where to even begin, I know I drink because deep down I feel so god damn empty but when I stop drinking it all gets worse.
I'm at the end of this journey and can't do this shit no more.

Alcoholism? Yeah. The fallout from alcoholism? Luckily, no.
The best I can say is that I understand the struggle, my friend. In my general experience with /adv/, you won't get much support, just a "go to AA" answer, because apparently it's infallible and works for everyone.
At the end of the day, I think the only hope is discovering our own willpower, if we can.
i quit a year ago. i wouldnt have stopped except i started getting some really nasty and scary physical reactions to all the drinking. my heart was fucked up and i had bad indigestion to the point of passing blood.
after that i decided drinking was not worth it anymore so i quit cold turkey. i had anxiety attacks for months afterwards but those are 99% gone now, though i dont think ill ever feel totally right again.
my family and a doctor i went to see told me to go to aa but i never did and dont think i will. seemed like bullshit.
end of the day its up to you if you really want to quit. once i made up my mind it was easy not to drink because the choice was to either feed the beast and drink more or not drink, get my shit together and feel better eventually. but it has to come from you, no one else can make you do anything.
start slammin or snortin, because without limiting youself with alcohol these drugs take over your life
its either alcohol or a hard drug
pick ur poison
weed can help, but u still drink or do harder shit
I grew up in AA.
It works if you work it. You're worth it, so work it.
It sounds dumb, but I've seen those words save lives.
Give it a shot? Worse case you can just come back here and we'll have our own little /adv/aa

Not op, but I don't have any issues about my own self worth, which is why AA never worked for me.

This. I just love the way it feels, its like how stoners smoke weed all day, well, I drink all day.
I have no real reason why I drink, other than I have nothing else to do.
