on moderation
For the past while before I committed to sobriety I was kind of proud of how I was able to moderate. I was chatting with my accountability partner and somewhere in the middle of explaining the system of measuring to the ml and watching the clock to time between drinks I "heard it out loud" for the first time and got embarrassed and felt foolish and faltered off. She smiled and said, "It sounds like moderating is a lot more work than just not drinking." It was an eye opener about how knowing something and actually putting it out there to someone else can make such a difference on perspective, so it seems like for me that total honesty is going to be really key in having success.
Ending Day 3 in good spirits. Just thought I'd share.
