Motivation & Moderation Group

A Gentle Path to Change

Motivation & Moderation is a virtual group for individuals who recognize there is an issue with a substance or unwanted behavior, but are not ready, willing, or wanting to give it up entirely.

This group offers a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore moderation, self-regulation, and intentional decision-making. Rather than focusing on abstinence or labels, we focus on increasing awareness and supporting change that feels right for you.

Who This Group Is For

This group may be a good fit if you:

  • Are questioning your use of alcohol, cannabis, or other substances
  • Are stuck in an addictive pattern of behavior
  • Want to moderate and reduce rather than stop completely
  • Feel ambivalent, stuck, or pressured by “all-or-nothing” recovery models
  • Want support without shame, ultimatums, or rigid expectations
  • Are interested in learning how to make choices from a place of self-care and compassion

What You Can Expect

Participants will be supported to:

  • Explore their motivation for change
  • Understand patterns of use and emotional triggers
  • Practice self-regulation and mindful decision-making
  • Reduce shame and increase self-worth
  • Learn tools to support moderation and healthier boundaries
  • Connect with others navigating similar questions

The group is process-oriented, supportive, and experiential, not confrontational or prescriptive.
