This would be exactly how my tally would look like if I had a drink now, sure stopping after a few drinks would be no problem at the start, but in a matter of weeks things would progress as bad as ever again to every day drinking!!
I think it's fair to say that "controlled drinking lifestyle" you were looking for didn't really work out, for me parting ways on a permanent basis was the solution, I too couldn't achieve what was the impossible!!
Go at things again Bobby, you can do this!!
