171| Thinking About Trying to Moderate Your Drinking? What We Learned the Hard Way
Thinking about moderating your drinking?
That question shows up for a lot of people in sobriety.
In this episode of No Alcohol Needed, Julie Miller and Steve Knapp are joined by Lucy, Brenton, and Bri for an honest conversation about moderation. They talk about what that “maybe I can have just one” voice sounds like, why moderation can feel so exhausting, and what actually happened when some of them tried it.
This episode explores nostalgia, stress, self-medication, and decision fatigue, along with the relief many people feel when they finally take drinking off the table. You’ll hear real stories about relapse, clarity, freedom, and the peace that can come from letting go of the constant negotiation.
If you’re questioning moderation, wondering if you’re “fine now,” or feeling worn down by the back-and-forth in your head, this episode offers perspective, validation, and hope.
