This is not because of a remaining spirit or a new spirit that has come along to trigger the old karma, although that can happen. So should there be a sudden downturn of worsening, it would be good to pursue a repeat cleansing. What is taking place currently is that there is a part of the deep subconscious not willing to give up the pleasure provided by alcohol. This is from prior karma still that has not been fully healed as yet. It is because it is being embraced so avidly by this part of your mind. In this sense, your mind has a mind of its own, so to speak, and that is digging in its heels somewhat like a child in saying, "I want what I want and not what you want. Go away." This is enough to stop the divine realm from interceding on your behalf with this problem and will take more time to work through. These are the slowest and most difficult things to deal with because the rules of engagement mandate that we honor free will even when it is misguided and self-destructive.
This is why awareness and learning are so important for the individual because the divine cannot always save a person when they have created a false interpretation of the world and are unwilling to have it changed. So this does not mean the problem cannot improve, only an explanation why it is taking time. The divine realm will be continuing to work on this. You can do the same by setting an inner intention to assist the process by thinking in ways you can limit your intake through conscious choice and strike an increasing level of compromise over time to move towards greater safety through less intake. That approach has worked for many others to speed things along.
