Help! I'm wondering how to code for diabetes due to chronic pancreatits due to alcohol?

I've identified ....

249.0 diabetes, secondary (chemical-induced)(due to chronic condition) without mention of complication

577.1 chronic pancreatits

980.0 toxic effect of alcohol

303.0 alcohol dependence syndrome, unspecified

I *think* these codes may be the ones but ICD-9 always surprises me :) Any help would be wonderful! THANK YOU!
