I'd say alcohol is actually harder. Same with cigarettes. I kicked meth coke/crack and heroine, still smoking cigarettes. Because it's still so socially acceptable to smoke and drink, it's a lot harder to cut out of your life. For me, when I decided that enough was enough, I deleted all my contacts and got a different phone number. Can't exactly do that for the liquor store down the block, or get every smoker in the city to give you a wide berth.

We've all got our path, and very few people get to traipse through life with no issues to deal with. I'm glad you recognise your pattern, and are trying to change your path. I'm not on here loads, but if you need someone to shoot the shit with or whatever, just shoot me a DM.
