Am I modding?

[Tulipe]

Today I had 1, not more, 3% beer. Yesterday I had 1, not more, glass of wine. Sunday I had 2 normal beers. Saturday I have 1, not more, 3% beer, and Friday the same as Saturday. On Thursday, I had more than half a bottle of wine. On wedsday and Tuesday, I had nothing, these were AF days.

Am I modding or fooling myself? Should I cheer or berate myself.

Note for history - prior to June 15 I drank at least a bottle of wine a day, every day.

Sometimes I think, this stinks! But then I think about how I hope my tongue turns pink again someday.

Please share your thoughts!

I think if you continue to mod without a plan in place, you will gradually lose control. Make a plan, set some goals, change your plan if you need to: I believe this leads to greater success in controlling one's alcohol intake.

Hi Tulipe,
Also, for me, our thinking needs to shift, whether we are modding, or abstaining. If alcohol is consuming our thoughts daily, there is a problem. You will know soon enough, but hopefully sooner, than later. Take care of yourself.

Tulipe with all due respect I think you know that if you continue to drink on a daily basis it is a given that one day soon you will overdo it again. I am not trying to be mean here but as a person who drank daily for years I can see where this will lead. By all means try to mod if you wish but I would suggest you try 1 day a week to start and no more than 2 drinks. Trying to mod without a very srong plan in place is playing with fire for us guys.

As someone who is considering modding (I have 13 AF days, so it is probably too soon), I appreciate the reinforcement that there needs to be a strong plan, which does not include daily drinking, no matter how moderate. A day a week sounds like a good start.

Tulipe, I wish you well on your path. I think my attempts to mod before have ultimately failed even though it seemed to work for awhile partly because it wasn't in conjunction with a plan. Thanks for the advice, KDAT.

I will NEVER be able to Mod, tried it before, and failed.
