I’m currently on month 5 of TSM, and almost never drink. Highly recommend it for anyone struggling. This TEDx talk was what convinced me to try it: [VIDEO] Prior to TSM, I was in pretty bad shape — so grateful I discovered it Using a throwaway account here. Wish I didn’t feel like I had to :(

Highly recommend The Sinclair Method. I chose to try it because I wanted to be able to continue to drink socially as the OP mentioned. I actually overshot this and find myself completely abstinent for over a year now. It actually made me "too sober" which can be slightly frustrating but it a REALLY good problem to have considering where I was a few years ago. Some more resources: [LINK] - a great community and how I first discovered The Sinclair Method [LINK] - documentary on The Sinclair Method [VIDEO] - TED talk on The Sinclair Method [LINK] (warning: large PDF) - book about The Sinclair Method, definitely the best way to learn more, it is surprisingly simple and the first few chapters cover everything but you may find yourself reading on because there's some interesting case studies and tips on how to succeed

To provide an alternate solution to the one already mentioned, I used a modern medicine approach to alcohol use disorder called The Sinclair Method. The tl;dr is that you continue to drink using an opioid antagonist (usually Naltrexone) which blocks the endorphins rewards from consuming alcohol and eventually you just stop caring about it.
