No: Normal ( for someone with your excellent level of understanding of the link between this two disorders) is to get help by a professional, and obtain the care that you deserve. Please consult with a psychiatrist on the best way to start recovering you from depression and alcohol.

Self-medicating: with alcohol does not heal you and in some cases it may actually worsens depression. Please get a medical evaluation by your doctor or a psychiatrist to rule out medical causes. Psychotherapy and medications are sometimes indicated. Take care.
