How to cut back drinking ?

I Female [27] have been a pretty heavy drinker since college, i went out with friends often in college and if followed me after. Lately I’ve been dealing with extreme anxiety and i drink to calm down but always wake up and hour or two later with even worse anxiety. I wouldn’t classify me as an alcoholic but i do think i prefer to drink more than is good for me. I want to cut back to almost never but after 3 days cold turkey i want it. Any advice on how to keep the cravings away?
