From the Publisher
Donna Cornett, founder and director of Drink/Link Moderate Drinking Programs, was in her 30's when she grew concerned about her drinking. Even though she was not having any serious problems with alcohol, she was health conscious and thought she was drinking more than she should so she developed Drink/Link.

With Moderate Drinking - Naturally! she explores two of her favorite subjects, alcohol craving and alternative medicine, and how organic medicine has successfully treated alcohol abuse for ages.

Cornett is also the author of 7 Weeks to Safe Social Drinking: How to Effectively Moderate Your Alcohol Intake, holds an MA and California College Teaching Credential in psychology and has counseled drinkers since 1985. She has been recognized in many publications, including Time Magazine, ABCNews.com, the New York Post, Esquire and the Scripps Howard News Service.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant! Why hasn't anyone written about this before?, July 20, 2006

By	sam m - See all my reviews

I'm a drinker who has struggled on and off with booze for years and I'm ecstatic someone has finally written about a more organic approach to problem drinking. This book gave me a different perspective. I was especially interested in how chinese and ayurvedic medicine treat drinkers and the concept of "balancing" my life so booze becomes less important and I drink less.

This book opened my mind up. I guess no ones written about alternative medicine to address alcohol abuse because the disease concept and AA are so deeply ingrained in the US.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Cuts Alcohol Cravings Without Prescriptions!, July 31, 2007

By	sensible drinker (California, USA) - See all my reviews

I am so happy I came across this book at amazon. It's the only book I've
found that talks about how other alternative medicines and other cultures
view alcohol abuse and how to treat it. I was thinking about getting
prescription medication to cut the desire to drink but after reading this
I don't need to. There are lots of herbs to do that at the natural food
store. I've read Cornett's other book, 7 Weeks to Safe Social Drinking:
How to Effectively Moderate Your Alcohol Intake, and she always covers
interesting things.

For me the vitamin and supplement part was the best. It talks about things
you can buy over the counter to cut craving. The Chinese and Ayurveda
medicine parts were really interesting too.

I realize this is only one take on problem drinking. But if you take these
suggestions in the book, along with her program in her other book to
improve your drinking habits you can cut craving and consumption without
prescription medicine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique Book!, November 29, 2005

By	Alcohol Abuse Counselor (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Alcohol Abuse Revolution: Complementary and Alternative Herbal Remedies from Around the World to Reduce Alcohol Craving and Consumption and Prevent Alcoholism (Paperback)

This is one of the most interesting books I've read about alcohol abuse - it really offers a different take on problem drinking and how to fix it. It's the first book I've found which discusses how different alternative medicine approaches have treated alcohol abuse for centuries - long before AA came along.
Homeopathic, Chinese and Ayurvedic and western herbs are covered - explaining how each of these systems views alcohol abuse, how it develops and the best ways to treat it. Another major theme of the book is balance. If one's life is a balance of physical, mental and spiritual components, the less need there is for alcohol. Truly a fascinating read and helpful to me personally.
