I couldn’t ……
I tried only buying ugh tasting wine, so I’d stop at only 1 bottle.Then my husband thought maybe buying only great tasting wine, so I’d stop at 1 bottle. How about NOT filling the wine rack, only buy 1 bottle at a time. Set a new later time to start that bottle of wine …. no, no, no I could not moderate any day of any year. I drank to drink. Period.
For this alcoholic , it was Soooo much easier to quit totally (honestly) than try to moderate DAILY.
That’s my experience with Moderation.
