When there was a misunderstanding during a night shift weeks later, which left either the manager or myself was to blame, he told the higher up boss that it was my fault and that I was also "stealing" left over food as well. I was canned because of that and have since learned not to cross that line, even for petty stuff.

Perhaps she has a grudge against me? Like I always say, I do not know how to function in normal society.
I agree that the drink policy is stupid but in your case, getting all worked up over it might lead to another relapse. The only way to change policies you don't like would be by unionizing your work place but right now the focus needs to be on you. You are way too fragile to start organizing anything and bitching and moaning about that one manager will accomplish nothing except maybe get you terminated and lead you to a drink.

through working the steps, I found it to be true.
