Moderation Management
Moderation Management (MM) is a self help group that is focused on helping people
learn to control their drinking. According to MM's own statistics about
1/3 of it's members are able to control themselves, about 1/3 just stop coming to meetings, and about 1/3 decide
that abstinence is better for them.
Frequently, the people who have chosen
abstinence will stay with MM because they find it more open and
accepting than AA. AA seems to be the standard by which people judge abstinence
based alcohol treatment. Using AA as a benchmark is probably fair
because there are more AA meetings out there than all the other alcohol addiction programs put
together. MM also has online groups
and a chat room. So if finding a meeting that is close by is a problem, this might be a solution.
