Get the buttons here!Is Moderation Just a Myth? Keisha and Denise Weigh In
For me, moderation is like half in half out and I find I spend the whole time almost arguing and like weighing one way or the other about what I'm doing.
Moderation - is it a realistic goal or just a pipe dream for those who struggle with alcohol? In this episode of 'Done with Debauchery', hosts Keisha Scott and Denise tackle this burning question head-on. They share their personal journeys through the tricky terrain of moderation, recounting the rules they set, the boundaries they tried to maintain, and the inevitable pitfalls they encountered along the way.
From setting limits on drinking days to deciding who they could drink around, they tried it all. But did it work? Spoiler alert: not quite. Both hosts open up about how their attempts at moderation often led to relapses and the realization that complete abstinence was their true path to freedom. Keisha reflects on a year of sobriety that followed a failed moderation attempt, while Denise recalls a moment of overconfidence during a cottage weekend that almost derailed her progress.
The conversation also touches on the emotional rollercoaster of dealing with the fear of missing out (FOMO) and the pressures of social drinking. Keisha and Denise emphasize the importance of self-care and grounding oneself to navigate social situations without falling back into old habits. They also explore how personal reflection plays a crucial role in understanding one's relationship with alcohol.
This episode is a raw and honest look at the complexities of moderation, offering valuable insights for anyone questioning whether it's a viable option for them. Tune in to hear more about their experiences and gain some wisdom on your own journey towards sobriety.
