You are numbing yourself with alcohol. That's your main problem. Whatever problem a person starts out with that they try to treat with alcohol, it is just temporarily numbed and the person doesn't grow and mature to be able to overcome the problem.
That seems to prove my point. You are not taking control of your life. You are numb and let life happen to you. You are using alcohol to avoid your problems and it keeps you immature. If you want to get over this trauma or any other problems, you can't do it until you get sober. Alcohol is fine for some who are not addicted. It is not your friend though.
There are different kinds of alcohol abuse. From your own words of how much you drink (we both drink a lot. drunk) and your delay in tackling big issues, you should see a professional to get help with coping and moving past this trauma.
People who do not have a problem with alcohol are those who have a drink or two at social occasions. They don't think the object is to get drunk and they don't say thinks like they drink a lot because they may go months with a an unopened bottle of wine in the fridge.
I drink as often, and if not less than my fellow 7,000 students I attend university with. They all get through fine. I'm just the typical, average, student from the UK. It's what we do and 95% of us come out fine.
Is it normal that my rape has only just started to affect me?

I drank large amounts of alcohol years before I even met the man who technically raped me.
