This is true.

To the OP, I was once where you were with how much you were drinking.

I know this has probably been said but it's true... only you truly wanting to quit will work.

When I decided to stop drinking a fifth+ a day I had the shakes in the mornings, very bad anxiety around people (even close family members), and absolute hell falling and staying asleep. This only lasted about 10 days or so. While I am not truly "sober" right now as I only drink on Fridays and Saturdays, you really need to consider cutting back at how much you are drinking everyday. I am probably being hypocritical here as some either see it as SOBER OR NOT SOBER kind of way, but I am so much happier than I was when I was blacking out every night. My relationship with my gf, my parents, brother and sister, ect is exponentially better. I don't have to worry about smelling like booze every morning when I go into work.

I started dealing with some of the things that was making me think I had to drown in the bottle every night. I don't have all that straight and don't know if I ever will

Anyway, I hope you can take this for what it is worth and hope things improve man. Good luck

ETA: and if you are considering rehab, only go if you really want to. I was sorted shoved into a 30 day in patient rehab center and was drinking on my second day out of there
