Moderate Drinking Success Stories and Lessons Learned: Tales From The MM Community and Beyond

Are you worried about your drinking but don't think you need to quit drinking completely? Have others voiced concern about the amount you drink? Have you done or said things you regret while drinking? This book is for anyone concerned about their drinking, whether they drink too many when they drink or drink too often! If you've been struggling to reduce your drinking on your own without success, you will be amazed at the difference having a support community made in helping the authors of the stories in this book achieve their moderate drinking goals.For too long, the successful moderate drinker has been considered a mythical creature, if a person was concerned about their drinking to any degree, they were labeled an alcoholic and told that they must quit drinking completely forever. Sadly, this kept many of us from seeking support to reduce our drinking and improve our lives and health. No more.Moderation Management Network, Inc. (MM) is a support community for those who don't identify as alcoholics but desire to change their relationship with alcohol, whether that be through moderation or abstinence. This book is a collection of stories written by members of the MM community in the hope of giving others courage to start or continue on the path to the better life they deserve. These stories are not myths, they were written by flesh and blood human beings who chose to face their drinking problems and begin their personal journeys to a healthier relationship with alcohol. The tales from these journeys are varied. MM does not prescribe a narrow, unwinding path for its members, instead it supports individuals as they uncover a deeper knowledge of themselves to serve as their guide while they explore the paths of their own choosing.
