There is a saying...when a problem drinker quits drinking, the problems stop. When an alcoholic quits, the problems start.

That's why abstinence from alcohol is rarely enough for the alcoholic. Abstinence without recovery makes for a miserable sobriety, as you've found out.

There are solutions. Hope you find within yourself the strength to leverage them.
