Mindful Drinking & Moderation in Midlife: Low No Drinker Podcast

105: Defending Your Right to Moderate in an All-or-Nothing World


Listen Later

In this solo episode, I’m diving into the loaded topic of moderation — and why it’s not the dirty word so many in the alcohol-free space make it out to be.

I’m sharing my own experience with passive moderation, why I never said “I’m quitting alcohol forever,” and how that gentler, more flexible approach led me to a place where I barely drink at all — without feeling deprived or like I’d failed.

This episode is for anyone who’s been told moderation doesn’t work, or that taking a break from booze only counts if it ends in total abstinence. I don’t believe that. I believe in finding what works for you, on your terms — and giving yourself the space to figure it out.

0:00 Moderation Isn't a Zero-Sum Game
3:38 Active & Passive Moderation
7:15 Taking a break from alcohol is powerful
12:12 'Learning' not 'failure'
