Good luck Dave, newbie myself but reading about such experiences and having stopped a few times (albeit more for fitness) makes it clear to me that there is no such thing as moderation for those in our situation and gives me the focus to realise that there is no option other than complete abstinence and not to allow that thought that I'm ok now as I've done 1 / 2 / 6 / 12 months or more - as you say it will inevitably only ever revert to problem drinking.
