Hi and welcome to sr.......im glad you here with us.
i have no experience of moderate drinking or returning to moderate drinking.
i guess some problem drinkers have managed it........but ive never seen an alcoholic do it......plenty try......some die trying sadly.
someone will post a link..hopefully which will help you decide whether you are an alcoholic.....
i would guess that if you are a problem drinker you should be able to stop for long periods without to much trouble.
but im speaking outside of my experience so ill shut up.
again nice to have you here.
