Book Description
This revolutionary moderate drinking program, based on the successful Drink/Link Alcohol Moderation Programs, was the first self-help book of its kind. It teaches at-risk drinkers how to modify drinking habits, reduce alcohol consumption and prevent alcoholism on their own at home - no group meetings or professional help are required.
This commonsense program first defines "safe social drinking" and offers the Drink/Link Basics - responsible drinking guidelines. Then the drinker learns new strategies and techniques each week to stay within those guidelines including: how to slow down drinking, manage the drinking "urge" and learn from "slips". Many drinkers achieve their moderate drinking goal forever.
About the Author
Donna Cornett, founder and director of Drink/Link Moderate Drinking Programs, was in her 30's when 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. But she didn't think her drinking was serious enough to stop altogether.
At the time, a drinker's only options were to continue drinking or to quit and go to AA. She knew there were thousands of drinkers like her - not alcoholic, but problem drinkers at times - who had no program they could turn to that would teach them how to drink sensibly and appropriately. That's when she developed the Drink/Link Moderate Drinking Program - for herself and the millions of problem drinkers just like her.
Cornett earned an M.A. in psychology and holds a California College Teaching Credential in the subject. She has counseled drinkers since 1985 and is also the author of Moderate Drinking - Naturally! Herbs and Vitamins to Control Your Drinking.
