Do I have an alcohol addiction?

[c91]

Ok so I am new to this and I was just looking for advice really.
For the past 2 years I have drank near enough every day. I don't feel like I can go a night without drinking, I usually start about 4 - 5 in the evening and carry on all night, I do pace myself and probably drink 1 and a half to 2 bottles of wine a night. I suffer from severe anxiety and panic attacks so I am out of work and find it difficult to even leave my house at times. The only thing that helps me pluck up the courage is if I have been drinking, it calms my nerves. I know it doesn't help but at the time i feel it does and I wish I didn't have to rely on it but unfortunately I do. I do want to change and I have started back on anti depressants which is making it worse because I know it is not advised to consume alcohol while taking them. Anyway I just would like to know if anyone has suffered similar or think that I should get help for what I am doing. I am only 21 and I really don't want to live this way.
Thanks x
