There are online support groups to support efforts to moderate. In my experience, most of the people there would be better off quitting (some of them have been struggling--not happily moderating, but struggling--for years and years).

I had to sign off that group when I decided to quit drinking. Here's the deal, for those of us who CANNOT drink, it's a matter of life or death--no kidding. So for people who CANNOT drink, it's really not good for us to listen to other people who are trying to. It speaks to that little voice in the back of our minds that pops up sometimes, unexpectedly, that whispers if we really TRIED, maybe we could do it. Not a good thing to feed.

So we can wish you the best, and still say that this isn't an appropriate place for support of moderation efforts. You will be welcome back, any time, if you decide you are done.
