Such helpful advice given already.
I agree very much with what everyone has said about the Doctors. They probably don't know much more about alcoholism than the person on the street, except for some textbook information.
People can be forgiven for their lack of knowledge about alcoholism, it's just something most aren't taught and some people just don't know what they don't know. It has nothing to do with you but I'm sure it hurts just the same.
Take good care of yourself.
