You need to get yourself into a good rehab for recovery. After you have done and that, then attend AA meeting regularly. You will see once you have achieved sobriety, everything else will fall into place. You have got to stop the drinking first, the consintrate on the depression. Depression does cause alcohol abusice but, the driking has got to be treated first so you have a straight mind to deal with the depression. After rehab, you may even find you no longer are depressed.
Hope this makes sense.
I use to work drug and alcohol rehab BTW.

Any other thoughts of help here?
