I wanted to update this just in case anyone ever comes across it. What I learned within months of doing this is moderation isn't a thing for anyone who's had to really think about their drinking. It just doesnt work. You can't reset your drinking. I ended up quitting for good in 2016 and life is so much better because of it. Find yourself a supportive community (like Over the Influence for example) and stick with it. Life without Alcohol is great, I promise!!
