two thoughts:

If you can cut back at least sometimes - that's good, do it. It is certainly better than always drinking a lot both physically and just in general for your life. Maybe try doing something different on nights when you cut back to break your regular schedule. Go out somewhere (not a bar, not a party) so that you are not really even thinking that you are missing out on something. I.e. if you go to a movie, you will probably not be thinking about "not getting drunk right now" while you are watching the movie.

Perhaps you have an underlying mood disorder and would benefit from psychiatric meds. For me, taking medication has had a significant impact on my urge to drink. I almost wouldn't have believed it if I didn't experience it myself. I still do drink sometimes and get drunk, but not like before. If you are on meds, maybe you could discuss this with your pdoc.
