Hi, I've been modding quite successfully for over 6 months now. I want to stress though, its not been easy for me and feels more like a restraining order rather than moderation - at the moment I'm still not at the stage were I can take it or leave it. I find myself avoiding situations to avoid slip ups, for example I made an excuse recently to avoid a works do in May. I have already abstained from AL twice (first for 50 days and then 40 days) and probably need to do another stint to kill off that obsession!!! I just know that even now if there's a crate of beer or a bottle of vodka in my house, I'll just drink and drink (because it's there). My ground rules are to have no AL in the house, no drinking before 8.30pm and only buy what I'm going to drink. I try and have 3 AF days a week because I don't want to be drinking everyday (as I know it will just spiral out of control again) but I struggle sticking to this - I can only manage 2 days out of the 3 at the moment!!! Anyway I wish you the best of success in your plans, keep us posted!
