As the son of two alcoholics, all I can say is that as difficult as it will be, you have to go through detox and rehab. And after that, you need to go to AA meetings and actively participate in the program. I don't know your what your religious beliefs are, and I do wish there was an alternative for nonbelievers. But as of right now, it's the only reliable way to maintain sobriety. My Mom has done just that and is now a year and seven months sober, and her depression (which was horrifically bad) has also gone away. My Dad, on the other hand, is still refusing to go to rehab (granted, his addiction isn't as bad as my Mom's was, but it's getting there). I got home today after a half-day at school and he'd already had a few (this was around 12:00).
Thankfully, you're able to admit to yourself (and to other people, which is tough even if you only know them online) that you have a problem and need help. All I can recommend is that you participate in AA, even though it's got it's weird qualities. I'd also seek help from someone else who's really close to you. You'll be able to do it. It will be very difficult, but you'll make it. We're all here for you. PM me if you ever need to talk.
