renewal...are you ready to mod? I wonder, for you seem really interested in drinking...." I've gotta have a gameplan real quick here...." As a modder, I have found if my craving is REALLY bad, I shouldn't drink that night for it will go south....real quick!
Have you read RJ's book...do you know what I mean when I say a beer should be like a cracker? If you haven't read it , I strongly suggest you do...
Just be careful, modding can be a slippery slope......
good luck

Hi Renewal, Following your progress. I've tried the mod thing after 10 AF days with MWO, 30 AF days w/o MWO and now trying again to go 24 AF fully incorporating the MWO daily. Only 24 as opposed to 30 because of a trip. Fell back into nightly drinking habit rather fast without the help of MWO. Anyhow, I plan on not drinking at home unless we have a special occasion. I also plan on sipping and enjoying no more than two drinks in three hours and only toward the end of the week. I'm watching your post for suggestions from long term moderators as well. keke

Renewal, I think the book recommends 90 days AF before going Mod. I went 90 days AF and began Mods. a couple of weeks ago....so far so good. LOL IAD.

Hi renewal,
Many of us have tried mods, myself included.......I failed with distinction!!! lol
However, there are several successful long-term moderators here who will offer you positive advice as regards controlling your drinking.

I wish you success with whichever way forward you choose from here.

Hi Renewal

Been watching your progress with interest. You joined after me - I completed 31 days somewhere round 3/4 July and have been moderating for month of July but as from today I'm going for another 30 days AF. My habit is a bottle of wine every night. This month I've more than halfed my alcohol intake which I guess overall takes me within acceptable units BUT . . . . my head has suffered. I don't know my *rse from my elbow. I've enjoyed the drinking but not too good coping with it mentally. I was happier in the morning, felt better, weighed less and was much better company when I wasn't drinking and I think that's what's getting me. SO I've decided to go another 30 days so I don't have this inner turmoil. Whatever you decide good luck - you've done really well and I'd love to hear how you get on.
