I’m trying to make a positive change in my life for me and my son. First step is cutting back on drinking or cutting it out all together.... I know I can do it I just have to be strong....

I tried cutting back and for me it never works. Unfortunately moderation isn’t in our wheelhouse. Good luck on your journey, you have a lot of company
That sounds like an amazing idea and plan. I am an alcoholic, almost three years sober, with two kids. Best decision I could have EVER made in my life but It was also a decision I almost didn't get to make. You can do it!!

Go for complete sobriety. There will likely be relapses but make them wake up calls to go right back to abstinence. You can call that “cutting back”, unfortunately I agree that consciously trying to cut back rarely works out. Best of luck if you want to ever chat I’m starting my journey too, 12 days in

Cutting back is not a solution, an alcoholic is not and never will be a social drinker. Make a solid decision and stick with it good luck
