66 Days Sober Challenge - Day 32

This is a series of 66 mini podcasts - to support you through a 66 day alcohol free challenge.

The challenge lasts for 66 days because that's how long it takes to change a habit.  

We have published an e-book called "66 days to sobriety" (available on our website https://www.tribesober.com) - this book contains 66 pages of tips, tools and motivation so I will read a page a day for these mini podcasts.

I will also update you on the healing taking place in your body and mind as you progress through the 66 days.

 

This is what moderation looks like   I spent a whole decade of my life trying to "moderate" my alcohol intake I was so afraid of having to give up alcohol altogether that I was determined to be able to limit my drinking to so called "safe" limits (one and a half bottles of wine a week) I am now well aware that for some of us it is well nigh impossible to "moderate" a mind altering and addictive substance. These days I have a completely different take on people who drink "moderately" - its not about using every ounce of will power you can dredge up, nor about counting units or even about planning your social life around 14 units a week.  Neither is it about managing for a few weeks and then failing spectacularly one night and feeling terrible for days   People who are truly able to drink moderately actually don't think about alcohol very often.  If they are going to a wedding they might have a glass of champagne to toast the happy couple.  If they are at a restaurant they will have a glass of very good wine to go with their food.  If they are at home alone the thought of drinking alcohol will not even cross their mind.  Sometimes they may even leave half a glass on wine because they didn't feel like finishing it!   Granted - these people are quite rare - and those of us not blessed with an "off" switch can only look on with wonder ;-)
