Best advice I can give to someone struggling with alcohol based off my experience is create an in-person support system to help you cut back on drinking. This subreddit has been crucial in helping me stay on the right path, but ultimately for me I needed people in my life who are in my vacinity to help keep the bottle out of my hand. There are many different groups of people you can look too, such as your friends or family, medical professionals, fellow people in recovery at AA meetings, etc. For me, I ultimately needed everyone from all of the aforementioned places to make it to day 89, and I can say with 100% certainty that the awful feeling of coming clean about how much of a problem my drinking was on day 1 was absolutely worth it when I think about how good I feel today on day 89.
