This is the official handbook of Moderation Management and recommended reading for all members. A practical, easy to read self-help book for people who have made the healthy decision to cut back or quit drinking.
Alas, the book Moderate Drinking is currently very hard to find. A new, revised and updated book is being worked on and should be available soon. Information about the new book will be published here.
Excellent! It's about time a practical guide like this came to light. One of the great strengths of Ms. Kishline's book is that it's based not only on research, but on personal, real-life experience as well. Many will benefit from this book's realistic approach.

I commend Ms. Kishline on her courage and willingness to take on the establishment, for doing the background work necessary to lend her personal experience the credibility required for acceptance, and her persistence in trying to get the message out to those who could most benefit. This is a great book.

It is a pleasure to see in America the birth of a noncoercive, commonsense, practical support group devoted to helping people with histories of problem drinking.

A wonderful and courageous book. Do yourself, your family, and your friends a favor: Read this book, then put it to use.

If you ever wondered what criteria are used to delineate chronic, problem, and social drinking; if you ever questioned classifying alcohol abuse as a disease; or if you have ever searched for the answer to What is moderate drinking?, then you should read this well-researched, commonsense book.

I want to congratulate you on an absolutely wonderful book. It is one of the few self-help books I have seen that is truly scholarly both in style and in content. You have done a superb job in making it both readable and informed. My partner and I have recommended it to many of our patients.
