How long has it been a problem?
There have been some really promising studies using psychadelics to help with alcoholism you could also look into. (Do this legally and safely if you do it).
Also are you seeing a psychologist/therapist?
Good luck to you. Either way I suggest trying to develop as many healthy habits as you can around sleep & exercise, and STAY SOCIAL. Lots of studies seem to show that loneliness can really exaggerate addiction conditions. In general I just feel like you have to tackle the roots of the trauma causing addiction.
Please note that I'm not a medical professional and this is not medical advice.
If you ever want to join some non-drinking activities feel free to message me. I've cut alcohol out by about 90% for me (though i didn't have problems in the past, just don't like it anymore)

I had a traumatic episode 5 years ago and the habit grew. I’ve been to therapy but the habit lingers out of boredom and loneliness.
