Live sensibly with alcohol. Descripción: "Exploring pragmatic solutions to drinking problems: Abstinence, moderation, and harm reduction".
Comentario: sin duda el sitio más interesante y mejor diseñado de todos, lamentablemente no se actualiza desde el 22 de diciembre, sin embargo la información que contiene es muy valiosa. El autor está abierto a presentar diferentes opciones que van desde las terapias de reducción del daño, la moderación y la abstinencia en sus distintas versiones (12 pasos de AA y programas seculares como lifering secular recovery).
Reproduzco textualmente la presentación inicial del blog:
"Beyond the 12-step-or-willpower dichotomy
Regardless of misinformation to the contrary, we can assert ourselves with alcohol:
- The first option is as simple as what we do with diet and exercise: Educate ourselves on healthy limits. Make personal rules for our drinking. Prevent problems when possible, and resolve problems proactively as needed. Do it independently as a preventative measure, or use the tools and support from a therapist, a coach, or a group like Moderation Management to prevent or scale back problems.
- Another option, of course, is to abstain. (To me, that’s still a matter of living with alcohol since it’s virtually impossible to wall myself off from the influence of alcohol.) Abstinence can be framed sensibly:
- As a self-guided process;
- With a 12-step program like AA;
- Using pragmatic approaches like SMART Recovery® or SOS: Secular Organizations for Sobriety; or,
- With support geared to our needs as women (like WFS: Women for Sobriety) or based on our faith (like Alcoholics Victorious, for Christians, or JACS, Jewish Alcoholics, Chemically Dependent Persons, and Significant Others.
- Reducing harm offers a third option which is helpful as a first step or as a fallback plan when our primary, but as yet unattained, target is abstinence or moderation.
Whether our primary goal is healthy drinking, abstinence, or harm reduction, use of these additional tools and concepts has been developing since the early 1990s:
- Prescription drugs, like Naltrexone, which may decrease the urge to drink, and even temper the intoxicating effects of alcohol.
- Therapy focused more on increasing self-direction and personal motivation than traditional interventions to break down denial.
- Solutions based on evidence of how people create long-term change, highlighting the fact that change generally occurs as part of an extended process more often than as a result of a single decision".
