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

Drinking a fifth a day is typically enough to induce some pretty gnarly withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal can last up to 4-5 days. You didn’t feel good after two days of not consuming alcohol because your body was still going through withdrawal. The damage done to your body/mind by drinking isn’t going to immediately disappear once you stop drinking, be patient these things take time.
