Trying moderation.

[Kayvo]

Im new to MWO and I was binge drinking about 2-3 days a week. I've decided to completely cut out the binging and try moderation. On Day 12 now all AF except a beer with dinner while on vacation.

I don't get set off by having a few beers out with friends but I am afraid to drink any heavier for fear that I may get back into old patterns. Anyone have any suggestions for how long to go AF before attempting moderation? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Kayvo,

Welcome to MWO!
Have you read the MWO book? You can download it from the Heath store here on the site.
It is generally recommended to get at least 30 days AF before attempting to moderate. You need that time to completely clear your system, gain some clear thinking & make a plan for yourself.
Look in the Tool box in the Monthly Abstinence section for lots of ideas.

Congrats on your 12 AF days, great start!
Wishing you the best!
