Welcome Jack! 
You are addicted to alcohol. (You have an allergy to alcohol and you will never have a good relationship with it. It doesn’t work for you, just like people who are allergic to peanuts.) Addictions are poison. Poison is unhealthy. Remove the poison - remove the alcohol - and don’t start the poison again, and the health comes back. There are so many stories of this here.
Another way to look at this: drinking poison or doing poison always has negative health effects. There is absolutely no reason to continue, and there are plenty of reasons to stop.
Changing to live a healthy, addiction-free life takes support; anyone who can do it on their own likely wasn’t addicted in the first place. Fortunately you have a community here on Talking Sober that can help. There are other resources too, podcasts, books, and recovery groups that help you learn and live recovery, and stay healthy (which means sober), at no charge:
Resources for our recovery
Getting and staying healthy is more than just a temporary change. Don’t think about the long term though; just think about today. Don’t drink today. That is all that matters. Join a recovery group (there’s online ones too, like Online meeting resources or www.InTheRooms.com), hang out here on TS, read recovery literature (there’s lots at the resources link above), and make choices of what to do with your day (and resist the way your addict brain romanticizes drinking - it will try to lie to you that drinking would somehow make the day more fulfilling, as though drinking was some type of fulfilling hobby) - take it one day at a time and keep communicating with people who understand (don’t isolate yourself), and your health will return.
