Anyway, you are going through tough times and acknowledge this isn’t a good long term coping mechanism, I’m wondering if there’s anything else that might help you that you haven’t tried yet? Admittedly I don’t know what else you’ve done, but it’s something to think about.
You will get through this, though!

Thanks @RoxanneToto.

I have not tried exercise yet. That's one thing I have left to try. I've tried meditative videos and I often talk to all my friends and family.

But yeah, I know the excessive drinking is no good. I've got to cut it out.

I am actually proud of myself though: a good friend came over with lots of booze last night, and I only had a couple drinks so that I wouldn't be drunk and therefore, hungover the next day. So that's progress!
