Cravings vs Habits: Why You Can Still Drink “Out of Routine” on TSM (And What To Do) | TSM Q&A

from Thrive Alcohol Recovery · host Thrive Alcohol Recovery

This episode features an in-depth discussion about the Sinclair Method (TSM), a medication-assisted approach for treating Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), primarily using the drug Naltrexone. 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. 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/
