Deciding Your Path: To Quit or Moderate Drinking?

It only takes that one time for you to break your moderation. Signs of that, for instance, are having the shakes in the morning, having to have a drink early in the day just to get rid of the effects of withdrawal from The Previous Day's drinking, if you wake up in a state of panic every morning after you've been drinking, and if you've ever needed to have any form of medically assisted detox. I've never yet met a drinker who was prone to becoming dependent on alcohol who has successfully moderated. It just means that's the way that you are.
Ever found yourself torn between quitting alcohol completely or just cutting back? In this episode of The Alcohol Recovery Show, hosts Lewis David and Antonia Ryan tackle this very dilemma. Lewis kicks things off by breaking down the age-old question, 'Should I quit or moderate?' in a straightforward, guilt-free manner. You'll gain clarity on recognizing signs of alcohol dependence and learn how to make an informed decision that's right for you. No finger-pointing, just practical advice.
As the episode unfolds, Antonia takes the reins to explore how our personality traits can shape our approach to drinking. She delves into mindsets and behaviors that align with different personalities, offering strategies that could help you either stop or moderate your alcohol intake. It's not a one-size-fits-all solution; it's about finding what works best for you.
The hosts also shine a light on their WinsPress recovery books, like 'The 10-Day Alcohol Detox Plan' and 'Mindfulness for Alcohol Recovery', which have been game-changers for many on their journey to sobriety. Whether you're considering quitting or moderating, this episode provides a treasure trove of insights to guide you on your path. Join Lewis and Antonia as they share their wisdom and support, helping you navigate the tricky waters of alcohol recovery with empathy and understanding.
It's an episode filled with practical tips, personal reflections, and a touch of humor, making it a must-listen for anyone grappling with their relationship with alcohol.
