Liver Failure and still craving a drink!

I am nearly 33 weeks pregnant and 349 days sober. Earlier this week I presented to Labor & Delivery with lower back pain. Preterm labor was ruled out, as I began to turn yellow with jaundice. My liver is Cirrhotic and the demands of the pregnancy caused my liver to start shutting down. I am laying here in the hospital, fetal heart belts on my belly and I can only think of a having a drink! What is wrong with me? I've been sober nearly a year, pregnant with my first child, liver shutting down due to prolonged alcohol abuse and I am craving a drink!!
