Thrive Alcohol Recovery

This episode features a detailed conversation between Katie Lane of Thrive Alcohol Recovery and Colleen, founder of Emotional Sobriety Coaching, exploring a nuanced alternative approach to alcohol use disorder (AUD) and sobriety. Rather than promoting abstinence-based models like AA or 12-step programs, Colleen advocates for emotional sobriety — a mindset and coaching methodology focused on transforming the underlying negative emotional and cognitive patterns driving problematic drinking behaviors. Rooted in neuroscience, neuroplasticity, and compassionate self-awareness, their dialogue highlights how shifting one’s relationship with drinking and negative emotions can facilitate sustainable change, even allowing moderation rather than strict abstinence.
 
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.

This in-depth conversation between Katie Lane and Kirsten from Sobriety Bestie explores Kirsten’s personal journey through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), her critical perspective on AA ideology, and her advocacy for alternative, science-based treatments like the Sinclair Method (TSM). Kirsten provides a candid critique of AA’s foundational beliefs, its religious nature, the harm it can cause through identity manipulation and indoctrination, and the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals within the program. She contrasts this with the Sinclair Method, a medication-assisted approach to alcohol use disorder (AUD) that emphasizes harm reduction and neuroscience, which she regards as a more effective and empowering path for many.
