Hey bro, hope you’re good?
You seem pretty switched on and you’re clearly being honest with yourself about your drinking so that’s a good place to start from.
Personally my vice has never been drinking so I’m not an expert but I understand the want to have control over the drink. At the end of the day social drinking is okay on society its not like doing class A and if you enjoy a drink then you’re not wrong to want to get to a point of wanting to still enjoy a drink without it being every day.
I think the most helpful thing for you to do is look at time management. If Monday to Friday you are busy in the evenings with something like going to the gym or what ever else you fancy taking up, then it will be easier to get home, tell yourself not to have a drink for the 30 mins it take to sort yourself out and get in to bed.
You can also say to yourself, look it’s Wednesday I know I fancy a drink but 2 more days of gym then I can have a drink at the weekend.
You’ll start to feel better, have more money and those things will be rewarding and hopefully can motivate you to keep that kind of lifestyle up.
I wouldn’t recommend going like full t total for a while and going through mad withdrawal then trying to reintroduce it because it could lead to going 0 to 100 again real quick.
Good luck with it though man and if you wanna talk hit me up
