Let me know when you find out
Surrounding yourself with people you like or things you like and realizing when you want to grab the bottle, pinpoint the prob

I've just kinda accepted my alcoholism I've toned it down a lot but I have at least 4 or 5 beers a day

Idk how people get addicted to alchohol the drunkedness isn't even that great, when I'm in a shitty self destructive mood it can be easy to chug.
Maybe try to only drink on the weekends,
Its up to the individual to quit, no one can make you, but encouragement helps
Warm regards

Some people smoke weed all day , and some people drink beer all day. Do whatever makes you happy, as long you're not endangering other people's lives in the process. Your body can only take so much alcohol abuse though. Eventually you're gonna have to moderate your drinking, if you care about your health.

Yeah weeds pretty addicting to me, and is quite a negative one It really can kill your sex drive, or drive to do physical activitys,
I gotta learn moderation, I'm working on it Along with kratom intake

Actually I just stated a thread in ODD about fasoracetam, which is said to upregulate bioavailability of GABA. There are some accounts of People getting of benzos and phenibut with it, should work in the same way with booze. It´s a pretty novel nootropic, so there´s not much info about it, but from what I can see it sounds pretty damn interesting.
What you could also try would be caapi or iboga.
I took caapi extract for some time this year and it helped me getting off cigarettes in a matter of days. Plus it made me feel very content and comfortable and it upregulates serotonin in a similar way fasoracetam upregulates GABA.
Iboga is the bees knees for getting off stuff though. You don´t even Need to take a flood dose, though that would certainly take care of all bad habits. Just microdose for a while and the craving will go away + it has a very nice antidepressant effect which builds up over time.
Or just combine these three in a cap, would make an awesome supplement

Not as bad as my brother drinking a 24 pack all night while falling asleep in my bed naked while I notice piss was all in my rocking chair, I was fucking pissed
That was in 2010 I think.
I do a 6 pack of a nice beer once in a while, like 2 times a month 
When I drink, I like a good honey beer, or choclate stouts, some IPA I like good beer

I keep myself away from drinking by playing music. I also play golf stone cold sober, no weed. It's the one sober activity I have. Going to the farmers market Sat morning prevents me from constantly staying out late on Fri. You just have to correct the lifestyle that revolves around drinking and it should be easier to abstain.
I like the idea of only buy 1 six pack a week. Drink 1 beer a day. Hell get the most potent beer you can get and just keep the volume to 12 oz. I think the key is to find activities you legitimately enjoy more than you do while drinking.
I know it's not quite the same thing in terms of intoxication, but I am trying to quit processed sugar. I find the addiction to be challenging as hell. Seriously, quitting cigs was easier for me to quit than sugar. I can go 24-48hrs and then I binge eat candy or some sweet. Not comparing the two other than it's just as hard for me to quit eating sugar as it is others quitting drugs and alcohol. My health sucks at times for my age and sugar is a big reason for it (in my case). I am trying to do the exact things I mentioned to you, except applying to sugar. Trying to avoid the triggers that make me crave it, and when I am going to cheat and eat sugar, I try to make sure it's moderates and of good quality. Say fruit with honey, or a bowl of oatmeal, rather than an entire bag of candy.

Try and break your 2-3 day streak. Also, don't have booze around. Whenever I take cannabis breaks, I'll either give my weed to a friend who doesn't smoke and let him hold on to it, or I'll just quit when I run out of weed.
You just gotta get it out of your general vicinity, and occupy yourself with something. If you live with someone who drinks, ask them if they could hide their booze for a few days while you try and break the cycle.
That, or I'd suggest restricting your drinking. Try and only drink half as much as you usually do for a few days, and then drink half of that for a few days until you've reached a point where you're happy not drinking so much or just stop altogether.

What helped me break the cycle was using strong cannabis edibles.

well most people replace habits they think are bad with habits that are healthy. if you drink a lot you can spend less money at a gym for example.

Wait 2 days or 3 if you can. Then when the urge to have a drink is getting to be to much to control go running. Run until you can't feel your legs. Or do push ups or something to replace drinking. Eventually you'll hardly think about drinking. When that happens you can reward yourself with a drink if you feel like you can do it responsibly or go on without it.
I used to drink quite a bit when I was younger and I kind of just grew out of it. It may have been because I didn't have any hobbies or anything. I still drink but now its just like one or two bourbons a week and 3 or 4 times a year I get borderline drunk.
