Moderation over Abstinence: Donna Cornett’s Approach to Responsible Drinking
If somebody could teach drinkers how to drink responsibly, instead of just throwing a beer at them when they're years old without any kind of guidance, we don't want to make them feel like hopeless victims.
Ever wondered if there's a middle ground between abstinence and overindulgence when it comes to drinking? In this episode of Safe Recovery, Donna Cornett, the founder of DrinkLink Moderation, sheds light on her innovative program designed for those in the early stages of a drinking problem who prefer moderation over total abstinence. Drawing from her personal journey with alcohol and her background in psychology, Cornett challenges the conventional labels often placed on young people struggling with alcohol use.
Instead, she advocates for a balanced approach that emphasizes responsible drinking. The DrinkLink Moderation program spans seven weeks and offers practical strategies for safe social drinking. Cornett also touches on the concept of genetic predisposition to alcoholism and how to determine if moderation is a suitable path for you. This episode is packed with actionable insights for anyone looking to manage their drinking habits without going cold turkey.
