Cityboy, I think you are making a wise choice. Like Willow and Daisy, I have found moderation impossible. Even if I could theoretically "moderate" for a time, it is just not enjoyable anymore.
Intellectually, I was quite convinced of this back in 2018, but some part of me had to test it still I suppose and here I am nearly 2 years later starting over again. My AV argument was always "just have a six pack of beer every once in a while. You can do that can't you?" Nope. Six turned into twelve the next day and then again on a third day. If I was lucky, I would stop it there once the weekend ended. Very often, I was not "lucky".
Ironically, I just had my first real craving this afternoon. It was fleeting, but very real. AV saying to just stop and get that six pack after work. It took me several tries to push it back down and ignore it. Whew. This can be tiring sometimes.
