Thrive Alcohol Recovery
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. ✨
