Can't believe noone posted this yet. Sort of a rephrased version of your question.

And the AA answer is:
"The fact is that most alcoholics, for reasons yet obscure, have lost the power of choice in drink. Our so called will power becomes practically nonexistent. We are unable, at certain times, to bring into our consciousness with sufficient force the memory of the suffering and humiliation of even a week or a month ago. We are without defense against the first drink."
-both quotes from Ch. 2 AA Big Book
If that resonates any with you, maybe AA is the place to be. Keep your ears open.
