I know how you feel, I dont know if weening yourself off will work, first, I was able to go 6 days without alcohol, than I drank some beer, then it was another 4 days, and today will be 2nd day-starting over again, it seems like I can go a few days or a week without and I have that urge to drink and I finally give in, but I guess it is better than the way I was drinking-about anywhere from 7-12 beers everyday, another thing for me-trying to quit cause of money problems, but also for myself. I also take xanax or clonezapam which help with withdrawals and diazepan might help too, the only problem is they are benzodiazepenes which are very addictive- so I would suggest talking to your doctor, maybe he has an alternative for you having withdrawals. Best of luck!
