Am I an addict or am I sad and bored?

To preface this, I am someone that at some point has used almost every drug at some point (blow was my drug of choice for about 3 years). To the point I was using it about 29 out of 30 days in a month lol. But I also used Molly/ecstasy a bit and dabbled in other things that I now regret doing. Only thing I never touched was heroin.

I’ve drank since I was about 16. And always have. My drinking has recently really increased, drinking about half a bottle of tequila a night. Severe depression makes want an escape when I get home, and I know alcohol is at least slightly better than hard drugs (I know alcohol is a “hard” drug).

My question is this: I quit cocaine cold turkey. Went from being able to crush an eight ball in an hour or 2, to doing none. Also, I have smoked cigarettes since I was 15, but if I’m not drinking, I maybe smoke 1 cigarette a day, sometimes don’t smoke at all. If I drink all day I can smoke like 30 lol. So what do I need to do to kick the alcohol every night. I wish it was a scheduled substance and I couldn’t just go buy it anytime.
