I'm on board with all the good feedback u've received here @ withdrawals!You need professional help.People can and do die from withdrawal from severe drinking.Please keep us posted @ what you do @ this!
Yes, this sounds like a case of delirium tremens, otherwise known as the DT's. You need to get professional help my friend as this is probably something you won't be able to get rid of on your own.
You appear to have the classic "shakes" of alcoholism. They usually start five to ten hours after the last drink, and disappear with the first drink of the day.
I suppose you could go to a doctor and find out if there's anything else going on--but to get any real help, you'd have to be completely honest about your alcohol consumption.
It sounds like you have alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
I've lived with dopamine deficiency for decades and even correcting hypothyroidism, numerous deficiency states (magnesium deficiency, vitamin B12, vitamin D, iron, zinc, other B vitamins), exercising (which helps increase dopamine), I still have symptoms so there might be some genetic issues as well (my father has Parkinson's disease which is depleted dopamine). I found a good article on dopamine deficiency although they didn't list rarely yawning or very unorganised but it's a pretty good list of symptoms and causes.
I would recommend a good multi vitamin and L-tyrosine (precusor to dopamine) to help you with your addictive behaviour. And as I know from experience, willpower cannot overcome biochemistry.
Excerpt from Pretty In Primal - Dopamine Deficiency (or, I'm Not Lazy After All!)
"Here is a list of symptoms of dopamine deficiency (with my emphasis added on symptoms I identify with):
1. Physically fatigued easily (Sometimes.)
2. Sleep too much and trouble getting out of bed (Yes on trouble getting out of bed!)
3. Reduced ability to feel pleasure
4. Flat, bored, apathetic (Yes on feeling flat)
5. Low drive, motivation & enthusiasm (Yes, and yes.)
6. Depressed
7. Difficulty getting through a task even when interesting to me (HELL yes!)
8. Procrastinator/little urgency (Mmmm-hmmm!)
9. Shy/introvert (Yes.)
10. Mentally fatigued easily (Yes.)
11.Difficulty paying attention and concentrating (A little bit!)
12.Slow thinker and/or slow to learn new ideas
13.Put on weight easily
14.Crave uppers (e.g. caffeine/sugar/nicotine/diet soft drinks/cocaine/amphetamines)
15.Use these improve energy/motivation/mood

1. Chronic stress
2. Inadequate sleep (Like, DUH!)
3. Hypothyroidism (Bingo! Hashimoto's!)
4. Lead, arsenic and cadmium exposure
5. Under-methylation (Possibly- I suspect my dad's family under-methylates their B12. They have a strong history of Alzheimer's and dementia.)
6. Tyrosine (precursor) deficiency
7. Magnesium, iron, zinc & vitamins B3/B6/C/D deficiency
8. Excess copper levels (I have melasma and used to be vegetarian, so copper might be a factor.)
9. Genetic dopamine receptor abnormalities
10.Chronic opioid, alcohol & marijuana use
11.Adrenal insufficiency (Definitely!!)
12.Glutathione deficiency
13.Parkinson's Disease
14.Influenza
