Welcome to SR. There's a lot of good advice up there. I tried moderating and tapering and it never worked. I may get jumped on here but I've been around SR for a while now and don't see many people on here with long term sobriety who came here asking how they could taper and then did it.
I'd see your doctor and be honest about your alcohol consumption. And don't think that your doctor has never heard such a thing before. I talked to my husband's doctor who said that this was the 6th time in a week someone had come to him for advice and assistance on quitting. My own doctor wasn't taken aback either when I spoke with her about my own drinking.
Please reconsider tapering. Be well.
