i dont know what to do
my life is rather trivial, not sure what to do

My advice would to get professional help. I hope you get the help you need!

Thats hard.
My advice is start to being honest with your self and dont lie about your adicction.
Family can help and ofc get professional help.

Starting with sports or workout can help you stay focused, bussy and motivated.

Find something to replace drinking and it will help you ignore the urge to do so.

Best of luck.

Exactly 200 days no drink today. My experience was nothing but heartache and took me getting left in Ohio by this chick i was with to open my eyes.

Things that worked for me:
Being honest with myself and my alcoholism
Prayer/meditation to God
Therapy to find out why I was wanting to drink
Switched to drinking energy drinks/diet pop as it gives an alternative (don’t recommend the energy drinks lol)
Got a second job to keep busy
Started playing video games again when I had free time
Poured into the relationships around me that I constantly abused and took for granite when I was drunk

If all else fails, the halls of AA and their 12 step program is a great start. One day at a time. Keep your head up!

Honestly man check it out back in 2019 I got into car accident, got outside the car and then ran over by on-going traffic.

Now why did I mention that? My story may help you realize some things

1. You need to realize that you need to control it.

2. Don't wait for something tragic to happen

3. Sleep will be off and on for years due to abuse

4. Don't wait for the tragedy to happen to make a choice change

Find your reason, My reason is because I woke up to white light and that was when I realized I was given 2nd chance and I needed to take it very seriously this time.
As I was completing healing my wounds and recovering from years of opiates and alcohol abuse I did a 90 day county jail sentence and this was my 3rd DUI.

I'm lucky to be alive today, I'm thankful for 2nd chance, every time I go into the store I never think about alcohol anymore.
I replaced friends by being lonely and on my computer, but it was well worth it because online friends are better than in person friends.

Just being alive and around, I get to tell the story anytime and it's a lot deeper than what I simply put here however I know it will be a form of motivation for you.

So thee answer is "don't wait until tomorrow to make a change today" & "Don't wait for the tragedy"
