I've got an alcohol problem. However, I also have social

I've managed to stay sober for a few weeks now thankfully.. it definitely is hard.. I've got an alcohol problem. However, I also have social anxiety issues as well when I'm sober. I'm very introverted when I'm sober, so that's where the alcohol has came into effect to get me socializing but I never seemed to stop drinking especially after my divorce during a deployment a few years ago. Due to excessive alcohol I faced weight gain that I'm working off now with being back in my workout routine. I've faced alot of depression, alot of times I'm by myself and with my German Shepherd. Playing music helps me stay busy when I'm not working out. However, playing music and writing also can tie into drinking for me as well. Does anyone relate to any of this?
