Alcohol is my self medication

...See more I have been drinking since I was 17. I had gotten my first DUI at 19. I have horrible anxiety, depression and abandonment issues and when I can't calm myself down, I have always just got booze. The problem with that is I never know when to stop. I could drink for 10 hours straight. For example, I went through a horrible break up and was on a 3 day binge because I couldn't stop shaking and needed to numb the blackhole in my stomach. I didn't know how to cope with what was going on in my personal life, and actually got caught being drunk at work. Resulting in losing my job. I am so ashamed about it. I can say right now I haven't drank in 2 days, nor feel the need too. But I'm just sick and tired of myself. I say things I don't mean, and do stupid things. How does one learn how to drink 3 drinks and be done? Or not drink at all? I am also at the age right now where all my friends want to go out, that's how they hang out. I feel so alone 😔
