1more ~ I don't want to sound negative here, but I don't think your doc fully understands the program. To me, if someone can't commit to at least 30 days, then they have too big of a problem to try to successfully implement a Mod program. This is just my opinion and only cause you asked.
There are too many people here who say they Mod when it's very clear that they still have a problem with AL. I think it just makes them feel better to say that they Mod instead of facing the real truth.
To me if anyone is always thinking about AL they have a problem. Telling yourself it's ok to have a craving because you are gonna get your drink later anyway is not a healthy relationship with AL. And that's how I feel a lot of Modders here think. If a self declared "Modder" planned on drinking at any given time and was told last minute "no you aren't going to drink" and they become upset than they clearly are not drinking in moderation! They still feel that need or want. They are not thinking in a "take it or leave it" approach.
AL is very tricky!
We are here to support each other and discuss our issues. And we all have to find our own way out! But I think some take this too far and by doing so they keep trying to find the loopholes that will allow them to drink.
Please do not be fooled by a lot of misinformation being posted about how to Mod. Please rely on the information that RJ has written about.
Again, this is just my opinion.
Also, there is a great thread out there by a member named Believe regarding Mods. It's in General Discussion (it's a couple of weeks old, so I will try to find it and bump it up for you). Please take the time to read it. It might help.
If you are finding that the approach you are using is working for you, than great. I can only ask that you be very careful. I wish you the very best of luck.
Love, Me
