Moderation Management
Moderation Management
An approach to reducing alcohol consumption to a healthy level rather than quitting entirely.
Details
Moderation Management is an approach that aims to reduce drinking to a healthy level rather than achieving complete abstinence. It can be applied in cases where alcohol dependence is not severe.
Strategies include keeping a drinking diary, setting drinking rules, and identifying triggers. For severe alcohol use disorder, abstinence may be safer and more effective than moderation.
It is important to accurately assess your own situation and set appropriate goals in consultation with a professional. Mindy is here to help you think through what approach might work best for you.
💡 Real-Life Example
Limiting drinking to 2–3 times per week with no more than 1–2 drinks per occasion is one practical way to practice Moderation Management.
