Tragic disappointment

I remember growing up and hearing my parents warn me about how alcoholism runs in our family. Yeah right. It would never be me.
Shock and horror! I'm a 22 year old alcoholic now. I drink about a bottle and a half of wine every day. As a healthcare worker I know exactly how bad that is. Last blood tests my liver and cholesterol were fucked. But I'm hoping I won't survive long enough to live the consequences. It's the only thing that can make me not think. Like genuinely not exist anymore. I also know it'll take away my survival instincts so I can finally do this properly.
Only a few people know I'm an alcoholic. I'm very high functioning. I feel like physical garbage almost always but I'm great at hiding it. I'm chronically ill so even if I took care of myself I'd probably still feel like shit. People keep telling me I need to quit and get sober but how do I find the motivation knowing I'll be dead in 6 months? Probably sooner if I go sober.
