Sara knew she drank too much. After years of struggling, she decided she needed help. She admitted she was dependent on alcohol and started seeing a counselor.
Sara explained to her therapist that she didn’t think she could quit drinking altogether. She hoped she didn’t need to. When out for a nice dinner or attending a get-together, she still wanted the freedom of having a drink or two. Her counselor agreed that limiting her drinking could be a good solution and they set a goal for Sara to cut back her consumption to these special occasions only.
Reagan also knew she drank too much. After years of struggling, she decided to get some help. She admitted she was hooked on alcohol and started seeing a counselor. Reagan wanted to stop drinking completely. Alcohol had taken its toll – her job, friends, family and health had all suffered – and she wanted it out of her life. Her counselor agreed that abstinence was a good solution and they took steps to help Reagan achieve this goal.
Guess whose drinking problem was under control two years later – the limiter or the abstainer? If you chose Reagan, you’re right.
