why moder8 - do MWO health products not work?

hi - this is my very first post. I started Moder8 a few weeks ago, and the first week was great - then I went right back to where I started. I am now looking to MWO as an alternate, and was looking to purchase the products - they are advertised as curbing cravings and asssisting to cut back, and that is what Moder8 offers - so I wonder why people here are looking to Moder8 for help? Do MWO products not help?
One thing I need to say, i have posted on Moder8 and sent an e-mail for advice and had no responses, here tehre seems to be very quick repsonse and a lot of help.
I am looking to cut back - I woul dso very much like to be successful, mainly for myself right now, but for my two girls who could really do with a better role model.

I started Moder8 almost a month ago and the physical effect seemed to wear off after a few weeks so I stopped taking it for a week and now it is working again (to help me drink less, not stop drinking). I think I developed a tolerance for it--if that keeps happening, I might use Moder8 like I used birth control pills - 21 days off and 7 days off. I just received my order of Kudzu Rescue from MWO so I'll keep you posted on how that works. Judging from the posts on this site, it looks like it will help.

I'm also not counting on these two supplements to work any magic though. Both MWO and the Moder8 site have tools/strategies, suggestions, and support that complement any recommended supplements. For the best chance of success, I'm going to use everything at my disposal!

Thank you for the welcome Flossie. Will probably do more reading than posting for now but I look forward to getting to know everyone here.

I also was just informed of Moder8 (Stop Drinking, Control Binge Drinking, Alcohol Moderation Pill - MODER8®). I would also like to know if any of you have heard of it or had any experience with it.

Started Moder8 Today

Here's my basic situation:

Over the last two years, my drinking has increased to roughly a bottle of red wine per night, almost exactly. There are rare occasions where I'll have a bottle + 1 glass, and there are occasions, also infrequent, when I have less. It's extremely rare that I don't drink at all in a given day, unless I'm ill or alcohol is not available. When I'm unable to drink, I don't experience any anxiety over it. I don't wake up with hangovers, though, 1 bottle is enough that I think it may be affecting the quality of my sleep. I'm not walking around tired all the time, but I'm I also don't often have that really good, well-rested feeling.

Wine is largely my drink of choice, though I do have beer on the weekends. Once in a great while, I might have a bloody mary at brunch, but, aside from that, I avoid hard liquor, mostly because, outside of the bloody mary, I just don't care for it.

So, I've been at 1 bottle per night for awhile now, and, recently (let's say the last few months), I've found myself wanting to open another bottle. I never do. The times that I've had more than a bottle tend to be, because there's a partial bottle left or we had a 1.5L bottle or something like that. Anyway - I've felt all along that 1 bottle per night is too much. However, since I couldn't really point at any concrete negative consequences of it, I've allowed it to continue. However, going beyond that 1 bottle is where I've drawn the line. After telling myself "no" to going beyond 1 bottle for a couple of months, I finally decided that it was time to take it a step further.

I found Moder8 just by searching online for moderation solutions. The price for a 1 month supply (particularly compared to the cost of the wine I would hopefully not be drinking) was certainly not cost prohibitive, so I ordered a 1 month supply, and I started it today. It's around the time when I would normally have my first drink, and I really don't have any desire to do so. Of course, this is the first today - given that I resolved to do something about this starting today, it's likely that I would have not had any huge issue today, anyway.

My moderation goal is as follows: drink no more than 2 drinks on any given weekday, no more than 3 on any weekend day, and no more than 10 total in a given week.

I'm following the Moder8 recommendation that you abstain from drinking for the first week. I'm happy to say that doing that causes me no anxiety. I don't know that I've ever had a gutteral urge to drink. I just know I was drinking to much, and had the desire to drink more, and I really want to do something about while it's still something that's easy to get my head around.

I have to wonder after reading that last paragraph - it sure reads like denial. It IS actually how I feel, but I'm not sure how I would react if someone told me that same thing, then went on to tell me they were taking supplements to help control the amount they drink.

I'll continue to update this thread with my Moder8 experience for those interested.
