What are your moderation strategies going forward?

I know from past successful DJs that it's easy to slip back into old patterns.

Starting next month...

I really would like to be able to enjoy alcohol once or twice a week, in moderation. But, moderation is much harder than abstinence in my experience.

I know when something feels hard, making a change is not about willpower. Willpower is a lie. What works for me are strategies. How can I set up habits and the environment toward success.

Has anyone else been thinking about moderation? How do you plan to achieve it? What will you do differently other than "not drink so much"?

I do think I'll be tracking my drinking with intention. I have a little point system I think I'll try. I also might keep my favorite stuff put away during the week.

Hell, if I want to allow myself two glasses of wine on a Saturday (and no more) maybe I'll pour them into two separate glasses and put the wine away!
