You’ve tried to drink less. Rules. Resets.
“Only on Fridays.”
And yet… somehow you keep ending up in the same cycle.
If moderation was meant to feel peaceful, why does it feel like running a marathon in wet socks?
This is for you if:
- .You’re tired of constantly negotiating with yourself
- You’ve lost count of how many “fresh starts” you’ve had.
- You know moderation isn’t working, but full sobriety still feels too extreme.
- You’d rather gouge your own eyes out than sit in a church hall drinking bad tea.
Inside, you’ll get:
- The real reason moderation is so exhausting.
- Why you’re not broken - your brain’s just doing its job.
- What actually works (hint: it’s not more willpower).
- A fresh, grounded alternative that doesn’t involve shame, dogma, or joining a cult.
👋 Who’s behind this?
Hi, I’m David. I’m an embodiment coach who’s been sober for almost a decade.
I help people who are done with moderation — even if they can’t quite say it out loud yet.
This guide is the one I wish I’d had when I was stuck in that exhausting grey area between “not bad enough” and “not happy either.”

She’s a very good girl and arguably more persuasive than me.
