Kickstart Courses
What is Kickstart?
The Kickstart Moderation program is designed to help participants discover or rediscover the fundamental tools and behavior modifications that lead to life-long changes in their relationship with alcohol.
To help you on your own unique moderation journey, we are offering two courses with lessons, tools and exercises to guide you in creating a moderate lifestyle when it comes to alcohol.
Most importantly, you’ll become a part of a compassionate, non-judgmental community that supports you in the goals you choose for yourself, not a list of goals that someone else has chosen for you.
Kickstart Moderation Outline
Kickstart: Miles for Moderation Fitness Challenge
Register for the Miles for Moderation Fitness Challenge. Miles for Moderation is month-long fitness challenge focused on getting active and drinking mindfully. With the support of our Miles for Moderation community, we will commit to either moving (walking, rowing, running, biking, etc.) a total of 30 miles in one month or getting 30 minutes of physical activity every day of the month. Early bird pricing available.
Kickstart: Zero Proof
Kickstart Zero Proof is designed to guide participants through 30 days of alcohol abstinence. Each day features a lesson and an activity that helps support their journey during the break, while also providing valuable insights and tools that can enhance their long-term relationship with alcohol. The activities, which often include written reflections, are designed to help participants practice a new skill or reflect on the day’s lesson, ensuring meaningful progress throughout the course and beyond. Participants are encouraged to continue to engage with MM communities after the course is completed, whether their goal is to return to moderate drinking, or continue to abstain. MM also has a dedicated abstinence-based community to support those who are focused on long-term sobriety.

The Self-Guided Course allows you to begin learning moderation tools and strategies immediately and to learn at your own pace. Self-Guided Kickstart Moderation lessons are accessible upon registration.

What do past participants have to say about Kickstart Moderation?
“So helpful! Amazed at the significant changes with tips and tools that I never even thought of. Small changes made a big lifestyle difference for me.”
“This Kickstart program was well run and managed. Great job!!! I loved that there was a tool and new ideas each day. What I love most about Moderation Management is the Zoom meetings. It’s great to connect with a community and have options every night of the week. While in person meetings would be nice, it is not an option for many cities. Keep up the great work!!! Thank you.”
“The loads of compassion and zero judgment, those are the most important ingredients for me. If I trip up, I don’t have to start back at square one. I start right from where I am, bringing everything I’ve learned to help me along.”
About Moderation Management (MM):
Moderation Management (MM) is a behavioral change program and national peer support group network for people concerned about their drinking who desire to make positive lifestyle changes. MM empowers individuals to accept personal responsibility for choosing and maintaining their own path, whether moderation or abstinence. We promote early self-recognition of risky drinking behavior, when moderate drinking may be an achievable goal.
