A very simple way I look at it sometimes is this: All the problems/guilt/shame were caused by drinking. How can drinking again possibly make any of it better? I know that's not very deep or insigthful, but from a very basic logical standpoint, it would literally be the equivalent of smoking to help deal with your COPD or Emphysema. Or overeating to help lose weight. It's simply the exact opposite of what you know you should do.
