Relapse...Aaah that sensation of going back will never stop if you do not clean your environment from the first time. Hanging around with people who drank that made it harder for me to not get back in that hole. But luckily I was able to identify it before. Moreover you need patience and perseverance.. As for me, I kicked alcohol for cigarettes, I know...I know....its bad also but I tried to managed it easier with nicotine patches later and guess what, the negative effects compared to alcohol on my work and social life are nothing compared to smoking..
All you have to do is clean your environment, substitute your desires to touch the bottle with something else..and always persevere and be stable.. The money you drop your guard, you will go down that spiral hole...atleast till you can see a bottle of alcohol wizt jumping on it.. Cheers
best of luck
