Personally, I am an alcoholic. Moderation I tried, I failed.
However, I know many people who have had times in their lives when they have abused alcohol heavily who now do drink moderately. I am in no way advocating an alcoholic to drink moderately, that's like giving a fish cat food, but you will know yourself when the time is right whether you can keep this up or if you are in denial.
Either way as may have said before me, SR as a community is here for you if recovery is the road you choose to go down, and I dare say there are many support organisations that would always be open for you as well.
