It is encouraging to know the reasons we don’t feel “wonderful” even though we are doing something beneficial for ourselves. Knowing that it does take time for our body and brain to reset itself makes sense, and knowing this makes it easier to understand why we aren’t feeling better right away. It gives me encouragement not to give up, as I hope it does for others as well. Thank you!

Comment on How Donations Support Moderation Management: A Year Inside the Organization by Moderation Management https://moderation.org/how-donations-support-moderation-management-a-year-inside-the-organization/#comment-1979 Sat, 10 Jan 2026 00:06:29 +0000 https://moderation.org/?p=45905#comment-1979 In reply to DM Osborne.

Thank you so much for sharing this. What you named — the effort, the reflection, the progress — really matters. Cutting back over the past year is no small thing, and it’s okay to still be figuring parts of this out as you go. You’re clearly doing the work in a thoughtful, honest way, and it’s really meaningful to hear how this community has supported you along the way. We’re genuinely glad you’re here and grateful you shared this with us.

Thank you MM. I’m struggling mightily with myself, but in the year I’ve been attending meetings regularly, I have cut way back. I’m still wrestling with how to incorporate abstinent days into my life. That said, I’m a work in progress and i have this beautiful community to thank for helping me aim for progress, not perfection.

Comment on Rethinking Drinking: Why Moderation Is Having a Moment by Bill Hanec https://moderation.org/rethinking-drinking-why-moderation-is-having-a-moment/#comment-1974 Fri, 10 Oct 2025 18:25:06 +0000 https://moderation.org/?p=44174#comment-1974 I’ve signed up and am looking forward to the summit. It all looks very enlightening. It’s interesting that a few years ago there seemed to be a lot of talk on behavioral therapies. Now it seems there is a shift to a more biological approach in addition to behavioral therapies with the introduction of GLP-1 medications,Naltrexone and adaptogens. I know several individual who are moderating using cannabis products such as CBD and THC beverages.
