Hi Wilcox, great to have you here.
The first step is to acknowledge that you don't have any control over alcohol. Either the quantity you drink, or the timing, or when you are going to have to drink again after a break. This may not be true in your case, but is up to you to do the soul searching to decide that.
Once you've truly acknowledged that, then the world is your oyster
You can move into solution seeking mode rather than questioning whether you actually need a solution at all.
Like you said there is plenty of wisdom and experience, and also solutions available here. Be ready to grab them!
I wish you all the best in your journey.
