Hi There. For The Past 6 Years I've Been Drinking

Hi there. For the past 6 years I've been drinking daily. Usually it was 6 drinks at night for the past 5 years, but in the last 6 or so months its been closer to 12-14 a night. I'm looking to taper off because of the bad withdrawals I've heard of. Im on my second day and have cut that amount down by half and am wondering how I should continue. Just keep cutting down by half every few days? When I don't notice any withdrawals cut again by a few drinks?
