Hi LSB and welcome!
I am fairly new here myself, only stopped drinking 8 days ago so I understand your hesitance to stop altogether. I have always had this little voice in my head telling me that this time it will be different, I won't overdo it, I will drink like a "normal" person. But unfortunately, it always turns out the same way, once I start, I don't stop until I overdo it and then wake up the next day with a bunch of guilt, stress, regrets, embarrassment, etc. So for me, I have decided to ignore that voice and stop completely forever.
I think you will find a lot of support here at SR and it helps knowing you are not alone. Again welcome!
