I’m recovering from alcohol addiction.. Question about relapse?
I’ve been sober since October 3 after drinking heavily for 2 years. I’m enjoying my sobriety but because of my addictive personality, i know i am gonna eventually relapse sooner or later. When i first got sober the nurse gave me librium because i was suffering bad withdrawals, so my question is will i get the withdrawals back immediately after relapse or will it take many months of drinking again to get those same withdrawals….
i hope my question makes. thanks in advance to those who take the time to answer 
Alcohol addiction is simply defined as a compulsive need for an intoxicating liquid that is obtained from fermented grain or fruit. These liquids include beer, wine, and other hard liquors. Alcoholism can lead people into serious trouble, and can be physically and mentally destructive. Currently alcohol use is involved in half of all crimes, murders, accidental deaths, and suicides. There are also many health problems associated with alcohol use such as brain damage, cancer, heart disease, and diseases of the liver. Alcoholics who do not stop drinking reduce life expectancy by 10 to 15 years.
When a person drinks alcohol, the alcohol is absorbed by the stomach, enters the bloodstream, and goes to all the tissues. The effects of alcohol are dependent on a variety of factors, including a person’s size, weight, age, and sex, as well as the amount of food and alcohol consumed. The disinhibiting effect of alcohol is one of the main reasons it is used in so many social situations. Other effects of moderate alcohol intake include dizziness and talkativeness; the immediate effects of a larger amount of alcohol include slurred speech, disturbed sleep, nausea, and vomiting.
I drink heavily, as do many of my friends (we are of varying ages — in our early 20s to 50s).
We all have drinking problems (I’ll be the first to admit it), but some of us have a physical addiction (must drink daily or get the shakes, etc) and others just have a psychological addiction (can go for days / weeks without drinking with no physical symptoms.)
Do some people just not have the capacity to become physically addicted to alcohol?
I know too many people who take marijuana. I would be curious to know how it effects memory loss, intelligence, addiction, and lethality (especially when combined with other drugs or alcohol).
NOTE: Asking this not cause I plan on taking it, just that it’s so hard to find neutral unbias facts on the internet, and although wikipedia is a good source, I don’t completely understand it.
2xNOTE: IF POSSIBLE, then I would appreciate sources, although I don’t mind googling your answers.

I know I have a drinking problem but I was just too proud to admit it. Now, I am ready to get some help. I don’t want to waste my life on alcohol. Where can I get treatment?
I know of someone in my family who had the treatment and paid $12,500.00 dollars for it. It DOES NOT WORK!!
