Regarding your plan to "just cut down" - i don't think you are really being honest with yourself if you think that will work now, do you? Most of us had that dream - to somehow be able to control or moderate our drinking, but in the vast majority of cases it's simply not possible. Once you cross that line into uncontrolled drinking ( addiction ) you can never go back.
