How are you cutting back? Are you able to say "that's enough now?" I think it's great that you're trying to cut back, don't get me wrong, I just would never be able to do that! Good luck with your journey and all the best!
I've been able to cut back before, even just have a drink 2-3 times week. But I eventually fell back into getting very drunk daily. The past 2 months have been stressful and my drinking became out of hand again.
But if I set it as a goal to cut down, then once I'm down enough, I will stop entirely. But I have told myself to cut down before and I just keep on going. I'm just going to go to meetings and take it from there.
