Sounds familiar. It slowly just keeps getting worse if you don't stop.
I think the irritability will soon die off. A counselor told me that 3 days without drinking is when alcoholics often start to feel irritable, and that was true for me. Three days was the longest I could go without drinking, and then I would start being annoyed at everything and start drinking again. You have to ride that out, but it does pass.
