Beyond AA_ Alcohol Cravings, Naltrexone, Faith, and Relapse – A Deep Dive with Michael

from Thrive Alcohol Recovery · host Thrive Alcohol Recovery

This episode is a detailed conversation between Katie and Michael discussing different approaches to alcohol addiction recovery, primarily focusing on the Sinclair Method (TSM) and contrasting it with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). One person shares her personal journey overcoming alcohol addiction using the Sinclair Method, while the other reflects on their experience with AA and the challenges of abstinence-based recovery. The dialogue explores the neurological basis of addiction, the role of medication in recovery, spiritual aspects, social dynamics, and practical strategies for managing cravings and rebuilding life.   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. Katie Lain’s personal success with The Sinclair Method has inspired her to be a lifelong advocate for this method. Today, Katie is "accidentally" alcohol-free as she unexpectedly lost interest in drinking, thanks to this treatment. Now she advocates for and supports others through this wildly effective (yet unknown) treatment for alcohol use disorder.      *Links* https://www.thrivealcoholrecovery.com/ https://tiktok.com/@thrivealcoholrecovery https://youtube.com/@thrivealcoholrecovery/ https://www.instagram.com/thrivealcoholrecovery/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/thrivewiththesinclairmethod https://www.linkedin.com/company/thrive-alcohol-recovery/ https://twitter.com/thrivewithtsm/
