You remind me so much of myself when I first tried to get sober.
I drank every day (alone), then I drank every other day.
Then I decided I'd only drink on the weekends, then I decided I'd only drink on Saturdays.
Needless to say it didn't work, it didn't take long before I was drinking daily again.
That's when I said enough is enough and quit cold turkey. One of the best decisions I ever made.
