Stopping drinking advice needed

Im 26, and this is so depressing to me. My mother warned me when when I first started drinking at 22, it could quickly lead to alcoholism, or wanting or needing to drink every day. I didn’t think it would happen, but it did. The most I’ve been able to skip is a day without drinking. The next day, I get hammered. I want to stop, but the second day, I feel like I can’t stop making excuses to get more drinks. This has been going on for 2 years. I don’t have a job im miserable, and I don’t know what to do to stop drinking. It feels impossible. I’m 26, and I feel like my life is ruined because I’m a jobless alcoholic
