ABSTRACT

This chapter outlines moderation-friendly programs and resources that are available throughout the world. It explains mutual support programs and dry month campaigns. However, many struggle with the concept of powerlessness and reliance on a Higher Power that is involved with the program. There are increasing types of mutual support groups worldwide that assist people struggling with drinking. Most encourage total abstinence, but several have developed for those attempting alcohol moderation. The researchers also noted that the members tended to be older, married, and have less severe psychiatric and alcohol use severity. Moderation Management is a lay-lead nonprofit dedicated to reducing the harm caused by the abuse of alcohol. They focus on self-management, balance, moderation, and personal responsibility. Hello Sunday Morning is an online support community with health campaigns and behavior change programs designed to help people who want to change their relationship to alcohol in a confidential environment.
