The Illusion of Moderation: Real Stories from Sobertown Podcast

But actually, the main, main reason that moderation doesn't work for me is because it sucks the life out of me, because I give so much space to the obsession, when I try to moderate, that my whole being is taken over with thinking about drinking, and that is no way that I want to live.
Ever thought moderation might be the key to controlling your drinking? Think again. In this eye-opening episode of the Sobertown Podcast, hosts Drifter and Polly tackle the tricky subject of moderation and why it often leads to more harm than good. They bring in a group of courageous women who share their personal experiences, revealing how moderation turned into an obsessive and exhausting game for them.
These stories highlight the mental toll that trying to moderate can take, making it clear that sometimes, going completely alcohol-free is the best path to happiness and health. The episode also delves into the joys of sobriety, from finding new hobbies to building stronger relationships. Drifter sums it up perfectly when he says, 'Moderation sucks the life out of me because I give so much space to the obsession'.
If you're struggling with moderation or know someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice for embracing a sober lifestyle. Tune in for a candid discussion on why moderation often fails and how to find true joy in sobriety.
