Ever wondered why this part of the board is so quiet?

I will shout it ... to the world ...

Moderation IS possible.

OK. I'll wait for the flack. I'll wait for everyone to give me a hard time, (however I may not reply. I'll need to speak to my agent.)

It seems to me that anyone successfully moderating here is considered to be a bloody social pariah.

Be that as it may. I'm happy with me.

I wish for everyone - everything they wish for themselves. Be well.

Hi Tawnyfrog just be glad you can moderate us...some of us dont think thats possible for us and some are so scared after negative experiences to try to moderate.

we are all at different stages and using this board to sound out ideas ..and of course our moods change as do our thought processes...so for you I am pleased moderating has worked and long may it continue...it sure beats being far far from Sober .

godd luck and Well done to you


regards Cassy

Congrats Tawny on successfully moderating. I think moderation is possible too (at least I hope so). Since joining the MYO website I have certainly drank much less. I guess the key to moderation is not drinking to get drunk. I'm optimistic, but if it turns out I can't moderate then I'll aim for abstinence. I'm at the very beginning of this journey, but I'm very hopeful and very glad there's a place like this!
