You might need some help man. I know for me my sobriety didn’t get any traction until I started talking with people: I attended a recovery group, and I scheduled regular appointments with a counsellor.

Run your car without oil and before long that engine will be toast. The counselling and group work is the oil that keeps your “engine” working (the engine of your thinking and your actions).

That’s not good. I’m sorry. I guess you’re not done drinking. Let us know when you are. Help is here. But you gotta want it. Want = accept help and put the work in.

I’m still rooting for you.

It is a battle, you’re absolutely right. It’s like there are two voices inside you and they’re fighting it out

Yea, you’re holding on to the drinking. The pain of change for you is too daunting to give up what you know is hurting you - but what you still trust more than the unknown you face in sobriety.

I had to make the same choice. For me, it was like going through the eye of a needle. There was nowhere else to go. I had realised that. It was super shit already. And it would only get worse for me if I didn’t turn away from drink.

You need to have this realisation for yourself. Maybe focus on that for now.

What helps some folks realise this is hear this story from other ppl. I would suggest you listen to some AA meetings. Or read the stories on here.
