WOW is all I can say. After reading what happened, what she did, I'm grateful that the time I chose to drink and drive I was "saved" from having that on my conscience. It just goes to show that even one time is one time too many. I only did it once but anything could have happened in that one moment. Who knows the countless lives I could have destroyed. Just gives me more conviction to stay sober. I know that for me even one is too many. I just don't know when to quit and most of the time it only leads to more. I chose to have a couple of drinks with my cousin at our family reunion. Lucky for me it stopped there. Usually it doesn't.

I don't know any alcoholics who can really drink in moderation and unfortunately, this lady is a good example of that.

Thankyou for posting this. It's a good reminder of what just one drink can do to me!

God Bless!

Yes Bob I totally agree! Thanks for posting this!

She made up the MM with very little research and lies to everyone..

And she's STILL not willing to admit that she's a total fraud??? But her book is still on the internet and I bet she makes money from it.

There's a certain word that starts with "C" that comes to mind...

Moderation Management is aimed at a whole different population of problem drinkers.

"According to the NIAAA and many other independent researchers, there are four times as many problem drinkers as alcoholics in this country. Yet there are very few programs that specifically address the needs of beginning stage problem drinkers, while there are literally thousands of programs for the smaller population who are seriously alcohol dependent.

By the time people reach serious stages of alcohol dependency, changing drinking becomes more difficult, and treatment is usually costly. MM believes that this situation needs to be remedied in the interest of public health and human kindness with early intervention and harm reduction programs."

Not surprisingly, approximately 30% of MM members go on to abstinence-based programs."

MM is not in competition with AA or advocating that those who have adopted a very necessary abstinence based recovery resume drinking. MM is trying to reach problem drinkers earlier and change their damaging drinking behavior.

The book Alcoholics Anonymous (the big book) identifies them starting at the bottom of p 20: "Then we have a certain type of hard drinker. He may have the habit badly enough to gradually impair him physically and mentally. It may cause him to die a years before his time [like a heavy smoker]. If a sufficiently strong reason - ill health, falling in love, change of environment, or the warning of a doctor - becomes operative, this man can also stop or moderate, although he may find it difficult and troublesome and may even need medical attention." This is the niche MM seeks to fill by helping with support, information, and techniques to help them with this sometimes "difficult and troublesome" transition...
