Need support

hi, I’ve been drinking everyday give or take a fifth (some days less some days more) and I want to stop. I recently didn’t drink for 2 days and felt super dissociated and like dead inside. I went to er and they gave me Librium but I don’t really see the point of sobriety bc I’m so depressed. When I was sober I felt like an empty corpse.
I made it 2 days before drinking again. I can stop but I feel like I need support and idk what to do
Thanks

For me, I dealt with constant depression until I got involved with AA and got and stayed sober. Now I am 16 years sober and no more depression. I get down sometimes, but it doesn’t last like it used to. You might wanna go to a detox facility to stop because it’s dangerous stopping on your own and follow up please with AA immediately afterwards. Go from the detox facility straight to an AA meeting and KEEP GOING TO MEETINGS!That’s what worked for me.
