Binge Drinking and dating

I have a problem with alcohol. Let me say it again, I have a problem with alcohol. Ive finally admit that to myself.
Im realizing it even more after Ive been going through withdrawals these past 3 days. Ive been having night sweats and I havent slept in 3 days. I think I slept last night for 10min at a time but Im not sure because Im exhausted.
I go on these binges because I dont want to deal with the hangover but all I do is prolong the inevitable. Each time I tell myself I should just deal with the hangover but 4 days of binging later Im paying the price.
I sleep all day and my friends end up not hearing from me.
Specifically the guy Im dating. He broke up with me because he couldnt be with someone who has a drinking problem. But he has decided that he still wants to be there for me because he still cares about me.
I just wonder, does he really care? Why would he end things if he did? Can I salvage this? I ask him this question and he says I need to focus on getting better before I can focus on us.
I know I can stop drinking, but then my friends stop inviting me out..... The reason I drank this last weekend was because my military friends invited me out to drink and I feared that if I didnt they wouldnt invite me out again. But then it became a binging weekend for me.

can anyone relate ? Any advice on my relationship? Any advice on my friends ? I cant afford to binge again. I hate this withdraw. This is at its worst.

thanks
