First step is to get clean and sober and stay that way. It is very difficult for a psychiatrist to treat any form of mental illness if we are drinking and using to self medicate. I had my first psychiatrist tell me that if I didn't go to rehab he would refuse to treat me. I did and have been clean and sober 19 years. I had to do it with treatment and AA. Only you can find out if you can quit without help. Be totally honest with your mental health professionals.
