You already know the answer, and are just looking for confirmation. Obviously XTC is bad for you, and since much of what's marketed is something else anyway, this an obvious self-medication to avoid. Besides, even "pure" X can induce major depression and anxiety.
Alcohol is a tricky one, but if you think you have problems with it you probably do. Especially at your age, you have a real opportunity to turn this around and develop a better, healthier lifestyle. You know this already and are simply looking for people to confirm it. Why don't you see a psychiatrist, tell them what your problems are, get the right meds, and start feeling better?
Everything you say indicates that you're ready for a change for the better and have an intelligent attitude toward the problem. Based on the information you've provided it seems extremely likely that you can overcome this, if you seek assistance now. If you maintain the same pattern, it will become increasingly difficult to enjoy your life, and you could experience serious medical complications. Why not act now?
Good luck!
