Hi Matthew and welcome to SR. You've come to exactly the right place to find the support you're seeking.
First of all, well done in recognising you have a problem. I was in the same situation as you a few months ago. My husband and I had gradually slipped into a pattern of drinking every night , and any attempts to moderate or stop failed completely. I went through a crazy few months, years even, of attempting to set myself limits-don't drink during the week, drink wine instead of vodka, stop drinking after a certain hour etc. but I just couldn't maintain it.
Finding SR was a huge blessing for me.
Take time to read about what others are doing for their recovery, what is working for them.
Post and ask advice when you need to.
You are amongst friends here x
