Be very careful what you wish for. You would like the desire to drink to go away, or possibly, for the pain of drinking to escalate to the point where it overwhelms your desire to drink, and motivates you not to drink.
I don't think that's what you really want, though, because it could get really painful before that happens, and as you likely know from previous experience, that won't necessarily make it stick for long.

Have you considered ending the nightmare despite any desire? That is, quitting drinking for good, even though you may -- possibly as soon as this latest 'detox' is over -- want to drink more than you want to be sober?
