MM is uniquely designed for non-dependent problem drinkers and does not require commitment to full abstinence. The program uses a nine-step cognitive behavioral change framework to help members take personal responsibility, recognize harmful patterns, set their own drinking goals, and build lasting habits.

About Moderation Management

Moderation Management (MM) is a secular nonprofit founded in 1994 as the first harm reduction–based peer support program built specifically for non-dependent problem drinkers. MM was created to offer a practical, non-judgmental alternative to abstinence-only programs for people who recognize their drinking is causing problems but are not yet ready — or appropriate — for full sobriety. MM’s nine-step cognitive behavioral program has helped tens of thousands of members take responsibility for their drinking, reduce harmful patterns, and build healthier lives on their own terms. MM has been honored with a Top-Rated Nonprofit Award from GreatNonprofits and maintains an active network of daily online meetings, peer communities, and free self-guided resources. For professional resources, MM operates an approved provider directory connecting members with moderation-informed therapists and counselors.

About Moderation Management

Moderation Management (MM) is a secular nonprofit founded in 1994 as the first harm reduction–based peer support program built specifically for non-dependent problem drinkers. MM was created to offer a practical, non-judgmental alternative to abstinence-only programs for people who recognize their drinking is causing problems but are not yet ready — or appropriate — for full sobriety. MM’s nine-step cognitive behavioral program has helped tens of thousands of members take responsibility for their drinking, reduce harmful patterns, and build healthier lives on their own terms. MM has been honored with a Top-Rated Nonprofit Award from GreatNonprofits and maintains an active network of daily online meetings, peer communities, and free self-guided resources. For professional resources, MM operates an approved provider directory connecting members with moderation-informed therapists and counselors.

About Moderation Management

Moderation Management (MM) is a secular nonprofit founded in 1994 as the first harm reduction–based peer support program built specifically for non-dependent problem drinkers. MM was created to offer a practical, non-judgmental alternative to abstinence-only programs for people who recognize their drinking is causing problems but are not yet ready — or appropriate — for full sobriety. MM’s nine-step cognitive behavioral program has helped tens of thousands of members take responsibility for their drinking, reduce harmful patterns, and build healthier lives on their own terms. MM has been honored with a Top-Rated Nonprofit Award from GreatNonprofits and maintains an active network of daily online meetings, peer communities, and free self-guided resources. For professional resources, MM operates an approved provider directory connecting members with moderation-informed therapists and counselors.

About Moderation Management

Moderation Management (MM) is a secular nonprofit founded in 1994 as the first harm reduction–based peer support program built specifically for non-dependent problem drinkers. MM was created to offer a practical, non-judgmental alternative to abstinence-only programs for people who recognize their drinking is causing problems but are not yet ready — or appropriate — for full sobriety. MM’s nine-step cognitive behavioral program has helped tens of thousands of members take responsibility for their drinking, reduce harmful patterns, and build healthier lives on their own terms. MM has been honored with a Top-Rated Nonprofit Award from GreatNonprofits and maintains an active network of daily online meetings, peer communities, and free self-guided resources. For professional resources, MM operates an approved provider directory connecting members with moderation-informed therapists and counselors.
