Moderation Over Abstinence: Donna J. Cornett's Approach to Drinking

I think abstinence is just as good as moderate drinking, even better in some cases. Women drink for different reasons than men. And we really get into the reasons why women drink and drink abusively.
What if there was a way to manage your drinking without giving up alcohol entirely? In this thought-provoking episode of Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS, Kenneth Anderson chats with Donna J. Cornett, the founder of the Drink Link moderate drinking program. Cornett, also the author of '7 Weeks to Safe Social Drinking', shares her insights into a harm reduction approach to alcohol addiction.
This conversation dives into the origins of Drink Link, the significance of moderation, and why abstinence isn't the only path to recovery. Cornett emphasizes the importance of providing alternatives for those who struggle with alcohol, highlighting how moderate drinking interventions can be effective. She discusses the role of non-alcoholic activities and relationships in reducing alcohol intake, and how these can be powerful tools in combating addiction.
Anderson and Cornett also touch on gender differences in drinking habits, offering valuable insights into why women might drink excessively. The episode further explores the four types of problem drinking and practical strategies to interrupt these cycles. Cornett provides listeners with actionable tips and encouragement, making it clear that there are multiple ways to improve one's relationship with alcohol. The discussion is not just informative but also empowering, reminding us that recovery can be personalized and compassionate.
Tune in to this engaging episode for a fresh perspective on managing alcohol consumption and discover how the Drink Link program might help you or someone you care about take control of their drinking.
