Hi backnforth! This is a wonderful place filled with interesting and supportive people from all over. At a young age you're deciding if you have a problem - so you may never have to put yourself through the hell that many of us did. Like Dee, I tried to control or moderate my drinking for over 20 yrs. It failed spectacularly and almost killed me in the end. Oh, to have those years back and live them sober, clearheaded and sane.
Congratulations on having the good sense to call a halt to it if necessary! We're here for you 24/7.
