I started drinking a few months ago, and I've become more and more dependent on it to bring satisfaction to me, as nothing else does so.
It's gotten so bad that I'm not able to function in society, my work isn't getting done, I spend almost every day in bed, drinking and passing out, and repeating the process when I wake up. At some point, a fit of throwing up begins, and I throw up between 4 and 8 times before the fit stops. One day, I threw up 14 times in two separate fits that day.
I shake and twitch throughout the day, and I tried committing to phasing out alcohol a few days ago. Instead of drinking 2 liters of alcohol every 2 days, I'm drinking 1 liter of alcohol in 3 days. I succeeded initially, but yesterday, I fell back and drank 2 liters of alcohol over the course of 2 days.
Any progress IS progress. Just try to cut back slowly to where you don't have to depend on it any longer. Try to surround yourself with people who don't drink and that won't influence you to do so. Get busy with the gym, or things that make you happy. Drinking doesn't help your body or work. Like you said it makes you throw up, it effects work as well. Honestly nothing good comes from it

You're not telling me anything I don't already know. The fact is, it makes my depression worse in more ways than one, I feel guilty for doing it, and knowing that I'm disappointing my family and girlfriend
They don't know how bad it is, if they did, I don't like to think about how badly they'd react. But I can't hide my addiction forever, but I also find myself unable to stop😞

Then that's something you need to work on or get help or find something. Anyone can overcome an addiction it takes time. Be positive you can do it!!!
Group therapy and support tends to help with these things.
