If we were pouring the beer, maybe we could help. Tapering doesn't work for the very reason you are aware of...if we could control our drinking, we wouldn't have a problem. Tapering, when in the hands of the alcoholic, is just another attempt at controlled drinking.
I'd suggest a supervised detox. If this taper fails, I hope you'll consider it.
Good luck.
