Can I moderate myself to the 'occasional beer or two'?
I guess my question is after 266 days, why would you want to? is your life horrible now that you are sober? I'm not being sarcastic, I'm being serious.
I'm not a hardcore when it comes to people's desire to moderate. You may be one of those very rare individuals that can, but I'd side with statistics on this one. More than likely it would just be a matter of time before you'd be back to square one, and that's not worth it at all.
