About the Author Donna Cornett, founder and director of Drink/Link Moderate Drinking Programs, is a former problem drinker and holds an MA and California Community College Teaching Credential in psychology. She was in her 30's when she started worrying about her drinking. Even though she didn't suffer from any alcohol-related problems, she was health conscious and feared she might become an alcoholic if she didn't address it early on.At the time her only options were abstinence and AA which didn't work for her because she didn't think her drinking was serious enough to stop altogether. She started counseling drinkers in 1985 and after much research, developed the Drink/Link Moderate Drinking Program in 1988. She no longer has a drinking problem, knows when to stop and never worries about her drinking.Cornett is an expert on substance use and abuse and is also the author of 7 Weeks to Safe Social Drinking, Moderate Drinking - Naturally! and the Moderate Drinking Made Easy Workbook. She has been featured or consulted for articles in Time Magazine, the New York Post, ABCnews.com, Esquire, WebMD, Scripps Howard News Service and professsional publications.
