Hi (((((((kadesgirl)))))))),
When I was in a similar vicious cycle, I ended up trying AA as a way to stop drinking. I didn't know what else to do, and I figured I didn't have anything to lose by just checking it out and giving it a try.
Once I stopped using alcohol to deal with my problems, I HAD to find other ways of dealing with them, and I slowly made a lot of positive changes in my life (started therapy to deal with childhood trauma, learned about boundaries, etc). For me, I couldn't make the changes until I stopped drinking. While I was drinking, it was too easy to just let myself stay in crappy situations and numb myself to deal with it.
I don't know if that helps, but that's my experience.
