Feel Like Struggling With Alcohol And Self-injury Issues And Run Into Few Interpersonal Issues As Result. Cure?

My name is Stephanie. I am a 27 year old female who has never gone to a psychologist or psychiatrist before. I feel like I have been struggling with some issues with alcohol and self-injury for quite some time (10 + years) and have run into quite a few interpersonal issues as a result. I am in a relationship now and am at risk of losing it if I continue with this dramatic and destructive behavior. I am not really sure what to do or how to move forward, but I do think I need help, either with counseling or medication or both.
