You MUST intervene before this occurs. You are not unconscious. The relapse happens well before the actual drink is taken. Don't let your addiction hijack your recovery.
How you intervene...there are any number of techniques. Did you pick up any numbers at the AA meeting? Someone you can call when you feel your resolve waning? If you are going to forgo AA, there are still ways...but you are going to have to lean on your resolve and that's what you say is weakening. Read up on AVRT and Rational Recovery, see if something clicks.
