dude, good luck with the moderation thing. For me, I tried to moderate literally for years ... nope, didn't work. It is either an all or none thing for me and now I choose none.
I agree with the other posts, that since you have recognized the problem early, you might be able to get away with moderation. Guess you will find out.
I am happy to be sober today and realize that I am truly an alcoholic and that first drink is the one that makes me drunk.
Good luck to you.
