Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

The most important predictor of successful moderation is believing that you can do it. In 12-step programs the first step you take is to admit that you are power-less over a behavior or substance....In MM you do the opposite; you admit that you are power-full. This does not mean that you think you have suddenly become God! It simply means that you believe and accept that you possess the capability (power) and responsibility (no one else will do it for you) to change.

Review

A nationwide self-help organization encouraging problem drinkers to moderate their habits rather than eliminate them provides an intriguing alternative to the traditional AA approach. Kishline is a former AA member who gives advice for those suffering from mild alcohol problems rather than to chronic, addictive drinkers. The difference in identifying these individuals makes a world of difference in approach to treatments, Kishline maintains. -- Midwest Book Review

This is the official manual of Moderation Management, a national self-help group for those who have a problem with excessive or immoderate drinking, but do not want to abstain completely. This is heresy in some circles, and it is true that many alcoholics, on a path to recovery that ends with abstinence, often attempt to moderate or control their drinking unsuccessfully. Or, as a friend who is a recovering alcoholic said about this book, this is every alcoholic's fantasy. But not every woman with a drinking problem is an alcoholic. For women with mild to moderate drinking problems, this book offers a step-by-step approach to reducing drinking, and guidelines for beginning an MM group. -- From The WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women; review by Patricia Pettijohn
