Or just smoke plenty, excersice, new hobbies, sober partner, friends, etc...most important part imho is your choose of not drinking that first beer of day. after that it is quite eazy. Goming from alcoholic to another with love. I was 10 or 11 when i got drunk for first time. 19 when i quitted for first time. was sober(only thc&psychedelics) for 5+ years. ATM been without opium for 5 days after 2 month binge, drinking beer and smoking And feelimg pretty fucking nice. You will make it bro! When there is will, there is a way.

i would say a bottle of wine or 6 beers is ok, that is light for me and what i would consider moderate drinking.

I had tried to taper, switch brands or beverages, drink every other day. Nothing lasted. I think my longest dry spell was about 12 weeks, though usually just a week or 2.
I also needed the support, experience and understanding of a bunch of drunks who had quit and stayed quit.(AA) And I had to admit that I was powerless over alcohol - that my live had become unmanageable.(Step 1)
So far it's working, one day at a time.

everyone's different. most would consider daily drink alcoholism though probably light alcoholism, still an addiction non the less.

Try several things at once,
.. sport induced endorphins at the time of day you would normally drink. In addition to exercise, for me long sauna visits helped a lot to smoke less weed in the evenings,
.. change social crowds, at least for a while, if you always drink with the same people,
.. and perhaps a new substance, one that you need only once a week, or twice a month. For me this was salvia, iirc you don't like salvia very much, but perhaps there is something else. My friend drank every day, and has stopped drinking for two weeks now after doing MXE only twice. We're not sure if it'll last of course, it's just an example. Maybe something else works for you.
.. and if you feel it may make a difference, talk to other people who already stopped successfully.
Btw, 1 bottle of wine per day is much, but not very much. It can be a lot worse.
Strength with all this man!
Love, Hanz.

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
But my number is usually double that. I don't buy liquor anymore. I literally cannot have a bottle of liquor and not drink at least half of it in just a few hours. Sucks cuz I actually enjoy the taste of (good) liquor more than I do beer.

Drink a bottle of epickack on the day you feel that you have to have a drink. I could always give you the bottle of shock top I leave in the fridge for my room mate, it says raspberry but he said it didn't taste like raspberries. Anyway he doesn't drink my beer after that little insadent

treatment isnt really an option, it would ruin my career. i just need to give this my all and substitute with kratom. if i can make it days without a drink im sure i can turn that into only weekends and that into only one day a week. i liked the one drink a day idea and ive actually done that before for months

I would say try GHB, etizolam, and kratom. Kratom curbs addicts' drive in general. be it crack or heroin. etizolam curbs the gaba withdrawl and so does GHB
Also, I would say you could potentially replace alc completely with GHB and start from there. Its still unhealthy, but much less so
