Battling alcohol dependency in med school

[jugodecoco]

Hello,
I am currently an out-of-state MS2 in medical school in PR, and I am battling an alcohol dependency. I did well the first year of med school, all A's and B's even though heavily drinking throughout the year. Now, with the second year starting out I am worried about my performance, or frankly speaking getting my stuff together between classes and preparing for Step exam. This is not something I can control any longer (I have taken some exams drunk or have been heavily drinking the night before), and I can't stop. I can't exercise any self control since the addiction went beyond that. Please, provide any constructive feedback if you can/have been in my shoes.
Thank you,
