Part of the issue is your seratonin takes a nosedive after a night of drinking.

I exactly know the state of mind of people in similar boat. Confused state. If you read Bills Story in the book Alcoholics Anonymous, you will see he went through the same alcoholic torture:

I woke up. This had to be stopped. I saw I could not take so much as one drink. I was through forever. Before then, I had written lots of sweet promises, but my wife happily observed that this time I meant business. And so I did.

Shortly afterward I came home drunk. There had been no fight. Where had been my high resolve? I simply didn't know. It hadn't even come to mind. Someone had pushed a drink my way, and I had taken it. Was I crazy? I began to wonder, for such an appalling lack of perspective seemed near being just that.

Hello June, 
  Welcome back. You may try visiting one of the local AA meetings. Visit an open discussion meeting and see if you can relate to what people share. There are thousands of people who found a solution in AA and were you your position. Yet they found a power that helps them get over the obsession. This is a fatal progressive disease left un-attended will lead us into insanity. It will never get better.
