The Thrive Alcohol Recovery Podcast is your go-to resource for all things related to The Sinclair Method (TSM)—a groundbreaking treatment for alcohol use disorder with a clinically proven 78% success rate. TSM uses the medication naltrexone to help people naturally reduce or stop drinking over time. What makes this method so unique is that abstinence isn’t required. Instead, it works on a deeper level—within the brain—to rewire habits and reduce cravings. This allows many people to return to moderate, safe drinking or choose an alcohol-free life without the fear of relapse. 🧠✨ In each weekly episode, we dive into inspiring Sinclair Method success stories, share expert tips and insights, explore the latest science and research, and cover so much more. We’re so glad you’re here and part of our growing community of Thrivers. ✨ Change your drinking, change your life. ✨

The conversation is between Bruce, a UK-based professional with extensive experience in rehab management and TSM, and Katie, a US-based advocate and coach for the method. They address common questions, share personal and client experiences, and discuss the practical, neurological, and psychological aspects of TSM, contrasting it with traditional abstinence-based recovery models. The talk also includes audience Q&A, highlighting challenges faced by people on TSM and offering practical advice.   About Katie Lain Katie Lain struggled with alcohol use disorder for nearly ten years until she stumbled upon The Sinclair Method. She couldn’t believe how effective the treatment was as it truly allowed her to become a moderate “normal drinker” – yet somehow, most people hadn’t even heard about it before.

Today, Katie is "accidentally" alcohol-free as she unexpectedly lost interest in drinking, thanks to this treatment.
