"We are in the midst of a paradigm shift in our thinking about how to reduce the harms associated with drinking and it is essential that we expand beyond an abstinence-only framework.

Practicing Alcohol Moderation: A Comprehensive Workbook
"Cyndi Turner’s guide, from the first interview to the exploration of what techniques will best work for the individual client, provides the framework and practical applications on which clinicians can build their own practices. Her belief that it is crucial that the treatment adapt to the client instead of insisting the client morph to a pre-established program is right in line with Moderation Management’s belief that each individual is empowered to accept personal responsibility for choosing and maintaining their own path and should have access to the support of professionals and peers in their choice."
-Mary Reid, executive director, Moderation Management
"Cyndi Turner has written an informative, evidence-based workbook with the aim of helping you achieve long-term, sustainable change. If you're serious about changing your relationship with alcohol, this is a great place to start."
Dr. Jennifer Fernandez, author of Power Over Addiction: A Harm Reduction Workbook for Changing Your Relationship to Drugs
"This helpful workbook is especially valuable in that it can be used by therapists with their clients or on its own for those who are not ready or are not able to receive therapy. It’s greatly needed and I highly recommend it."
― David J. Hanson, PhD; professor emeritus of sociology, State University of New York, Potsdam; creator of "Alcohol: Problems and Solutions" website
"As an adult child of alcoholics (ACOA) and having lived experiences struggling with alcohol use and human relationships, I find this workbook was easy to read, practical, and logical in its format. The Alcohol Moderation Assessment tool and the numerous success stories were helpful and relatable. A good plan involves actionable exercises and measurement of results, to which this workbook is on target. My father, despite 24 years of sobriety, struggled with the old model of treatment. I believe the teachings in this workbook will give others a longer, more fulfilled life."
