Con más de veinticinco años de experiencia en el campo, Cyndi Turner desafía la creencia tradicional de que todos los bebedores problemáticos son "alcohólicos" que requieren abstinencia de por vida. Como trabajadora social clínica con licencia y especialista en adicciones, se enfoca en desarrollar y facilitar programas para diagnósticos duales y abogar por enfoques de tratamiento alternativos. Turner es una formadora reconocida en moderación del consumo de alcohol, ofreciendo a lectores y clientes herramientas para tomar decisiones informadas sobre su relación con el alcohol. Su trabajo explora métodos alternativos y técnicas de manejo para personas que luchan con problemas relacionados con el alcohol, capacitándolas para evaluar sus propias necesidades y el potencial de moderación.
