This is an online journal of my personal experience working through the "Responsible Drinking: A Moderation Management Approach for Problem Drinkers" (RD) book.

One of the core tools on RD is to take a 30 days pause from alcohol and "do the work". Currently I am on day 19 out of 30 days (maybe more) of not drinking at all. Over the course of the last 10 years I have done these "thirties" several times. Each time you learn something new.

The RD book fits in a larger school called "Moderation Management" (MM). The core of the group's philosophy is located here Moderation Management™ I participate in the open listserve but the opinions on this blog are my own.
