Well, I have to make the observation the "Moderation Management" is somewhat of an oxymoron.

If I could moderate, it would not need any managing.

In my opinion, anyone who feels compelled to examine their drinking behavior must have invented some kind of "drinking yardstick" for themselves, by which they have the ability to measure or compare their alcohol consumption to what others are doing. How much is too much? Where is the line drawn whereby the person steps over into "real" alcoholism?

For me, being a non-drinker requires zero effort. There are no decisions to be made, no rules, no measurements, no nothing.

If my AV decides to engage me in discussions about drinking again, I do not find it particularly threatening to my sobriety because I can't believe my AV could seriously think I would actually consider it.

I.e, "Moderation Management" sounds like just too much work.
