Day one, only drank 3 beers tonight, 4 or 5 less than normal. It’s a start I guess?

It’s a start. Before I went cold turkey I would drink later than I normally did which in turn allowed me to drink less. Say you normally start drinking at 5pm, the next day try 6 and try to drink less, then 7, 8, 9, until you’re only having one or two beers and night and then go cold turkey. That’s what I did. Some people might advise you go sober right now, but everyone works differently. You won’t take sobriety seriously unless you actually want to get sober. Nobody can force you. You have to want it for yourself. Good luck.

Not sure at this point, trying to cut back, don’t think I can quit.

Stands to reason that at one point you couldn’t imagine yourself only drinking 3 or 4 beers. I bet that once you get some momentum going you can surprise yourself even more
