There are many hyperbolic articles about quitting drinking, as there are, reasonably, many hyperbolically bad situations that people find themselves in due to drinking.

I found that the moderate tone of this article spoke to me more than I've found hyperbolic articles tend to do -- much appreciated.

I'm glad you got something out of reading it! I was in a very similar situation as you where everything sobriety related I read made it out that quitting would turn me into the ubermensch overnight.
