EXTREME MODERATION
Extreme moderation
Survival on beneficial terms.
The meter functioning on all issues –
If the needle is straight up
All is in balance.
Too much input on one side
Tilts the needle.
The body and mind seek balance –
Essential for survival –
So it seeks to balance the scale.
If the mood is elevated by a drug
The elation, stimulation and euphoria
Need to be brought down to normal levels
So the person feels the down
As the mind recovers
From the false state of exhilaration
All users know it –
The higher the high, the lower the low –
The more painful is the down.
So behavior becomes repetitive quickly
And the individual seeks and remembers
The sense of the drug
So temptation exists
And prohibition can be difficult
For a variety of reasons
Including changes in circumstances.
“Extreme moderation”
Removes the stigma of total abstinence –
As if a substance was more powerful
Than the individual’s mind. –
So if you take any drug –
Take the absolute minimum does possible
Then wait, and observe, wait and observe.
