Welcome,

You say that your addiction is in the mild to moderate stage right now. I think there are two ways to look at that. The toxic, unhealthy way to look at it would be to say well I'm not that bad so I can keep drinking. And if you were to think that then I think your problem would be more than mild to moderate.

The healthy productive to look at it would be well my addiction has not cost me that much yet and my health is still pretty good so I should stop now while I am ahead.

I was somebody who pushed it to pretty severe level. I highly recommend stopping now before you get to the really really bad stuff. And yes, it does get that bad.

Also remember that mild to moderate is a stage of alcoholism, not a type.
