No matter what you say about anything someone is going to disagree anyway. SR is for abstainers. If I was content to just cut back I wouldn't have joined this site. It doesn't bother me in the least when people talk about moderation. If that was my goal I would have tried it. I do like the idea that the one with the problem gets to decide how to deal with it. I know a few self described alcoholics that have no intention of quitting ever. One guy at work brags about how he is an alcoholic but never call in sick.
