I tried many times to cut back, but I couldn't do it. My problem is that I don't like the taste of alcohol. I drank to get drunk, nothing more, so there was no point in cutting down.
It may be different for you but for me it's continue getting drunk every evening or staying sober forever. I'm staying sober. I have achieved more at home and at work this last two sober weeks than I have done in the last three months.
I just imagine how much more I could have achieved if I hadn't wasted my time on that crap over the years. I'd be a lot thinner too.
Good luck and I hope you achieve your goals.
