Hi,
You have developed dependance to those drugs and that too in high dose . I think you are not following your doctors advice.
Although you are seeing docs for 3 Years but you are not gaining will power to stop alcohol.
Until you are strong enough from within to stop alcohols and drug abuse you won't be able to stop these.
There are few medications which are used decreasing your drugs and finally to stop it. So need to visit rehabilitation clinic for it with strong will power to stop it .

Thanks n regards
