Only giving up on something will kill you, mebbe.
That's not a defeat, PS.
I thought a lot of crazy **** for a lot of years.
They don't call it the insanity of drinking for nothing, man.

Giving up is a good thing.
I have embraced giving up, and started a whole new way of living.
Welcome!
And I too, have wanted to punch a hole in a computer monitor, over passwords, those stupid captcha things, and ever changing passwords on every site.
Truth is, drunk or hungover is mentally impaired.
I have everything under control now, (online anyhow) and it all seems so much simpler to remember and deal with sober. lol

When I was drinking I used to think sobriety was giving up too...
The only thing I gave up on was beating myself up, abusing myself and basically killing myself by degrees.
Yeah, I had to make a lot of changes but I didn't lose out of the deal.
I look back now 5 years on...I think of where I could be had I not stopped...and I realise now what looked like a defeat when I quit drinking...was a victory.

you CAN get through this and you will feel a lot better when you do. 
I have felt the way you are feeling right now, so I totally understand. Except I didnt have the balls at the time to come and say it with any kind of support group. So koodoos to you

The first and fundamental step for me was accepting I couldn't control it.
Fair or not, I wasn't like my friends, my colleagues or other people.
That might sound like a limitation right now?
but accepting that set me free
