I was forced to drink moreover I was not able to control my urge for this. I am not able to decide what is to be done. Should I go back to the addiction centre ?

I hate these posts because it is my belief that we are supposed to tell you what to do in order to fix your mess of a life..... Wrong it is solely on you to get your butt back into rehab and stop making excuses.
My suggestion is go with what positrac said and D'oh seconded. Getting yourself back to rehab immediately and finishing the 90 day program at the treatment center is the best decision you could make. Staying sober may come easily to normal people but it is not easy for alcoholics and relapses are a common occurrence among AA members, especially newcomers.
Reading the points mentioned I can say that rehab for me was much more rigorous because they held a tight reign over us. But once out that security was gone and it is easy to get down on ourselves over the stupidest stuff and decide to drink.

I don't see this a matter of how tight a reign is being held over us...It was an alcohol free environment and I needed that....I couldn't make it through an afternoon without drinking. I went in there without defense against that first drink....And unless I had that psychic change the book says I needed to have....as the result of working the steps....There was very little hope of my recovery. I would leave there with no more defense than I had when I was poured in there.
This was my reason for leaving early....It's why I completely gave myself to this simple program.....And I took the action required vigorously. I guess I look at rehab as a safe place to dry out....I used my time there to read and reread the book....Ask questions of people that I met at the one morning meeting I attended....Or from AA members that came in and spoke....And I made plans for what I would do I upon leaving...Which to me is a much more critical time for an alcoholic...Than the time spent inside. What am I going to do when I get out? That's the question.

Did you remain sober till it sank in?
I was good with meetings and sobriety, it was the steps and the inner work I didn't like.
