Con oltre venticinque anni di esperienza nel settore, Cyndi Turner sfida la credenza tradizionale secondo cui tutti i bevitori problematici sono "alcolisti" che richiedono l'astinenza per tutta la vita. In qualità di assistente sociale clinica autorizzata e specialista in dipendenze, si concentra sullo sviluppo e sulla facilitazione di programmi per doppie diagnosi e sulla promozione di approcci terapeutici alternativi. Turner è una formatrice riconosciuta nella moderazione del consumo di alcol, offrendo a lettori e clienti strumenti per prendere decisioni informate sulla loro relazione con l'alcol. Il suo lavoro esplora metodi alternativi e tecniche di gestione per individui che lottano con problemi legati all'alcol, consentendo loro di valutare le proprie esigenze e il potenziale di moderazione.
