Been drinking everyday for 7 years. My morning ritual is pouring myself a glass of absolute vodka so I can get a buzz and start my day. By noon I'm shit faced but a functioning shit face. Go to bed exhausted and drained. Wake up exhausted and drained. How do I go about taking up fitness and replacing the gym as my addiction?

don't you need like a complete month or more in a facilitated recovery center?
Bullshit you're gonna stop all by yourself if you didn't even have the willpower to stop yourself from getting this far.
as someone who is currently undergoing psychiatric/mental health training as part of a full background (because fuck doing that full time)-
step one is to make a goal that is attainable, realistic, and depends solely on your actions.
step two is to start cutting back slowly. cold turkey generally doesn't work. maybe do half a glass, then cut back to skipping one day a week. going cold turkey on alcohol literally can kill you (delirium tremens). (seeing a doc about this can help, some benzos will ease the transition)
step three is to continue following up on the goal for several weeks to months until it becomes habit. once then, you re-evaluate your goal, and proceed as such.
at this point you need to go to rehab bro.
if you quit drinking cold turkey right now you could potentially die.
go to rehab, get cleaned up, and then focus on the gym.

You have a major problem, and like many drunks you've fooled yourself into the classic thinking that you can just drop it if X Y or Z happens. You need professional help - not advice from a bunch of retarded meatheads on the internet.

you need to go to rehab bro

you're talking to this guy like he's quitting coffee or something. a seven year alcoholic is a junkie and needs professional help. don't try this on your own OP

This fag knows nothing.

As someone who use to drink more than OP does, this is exactly what worked for me. It's not easy but it works.

>(seeing a doc about this can help, some benzos will ease the transition)
the rest is literally what he's going to get in inpatient rehab, as well as AA/al-anon, boiled down to the key points. going to group sessions may or may not help, but try it out. there's AA meetings everywhere, but they're pretty hit/miss, especially if you're not into that whole 'giving your life over to god' and that bullshit.
Any other meds are 'meh' tier at best, probably gabapentin.
