Thrive Alcohol Recovery
The Thrive Alcohol Recovery Podcast delivers content centered around The Sinclair Method (TSM) – a revolutionary treatment for alcohol use disorder with a clinically-proven 78% success rate. The Sinclair Method uses the medication naltrexone which is proven to help people reduce or stop drinking over time. What’s so unique about TSM is that it does not require abstinence as it works to repair alcohol use disorder at the root level – which is inside the brain. 🧠 When this happens, most people can return to moderate, safe drinking levels, while other opt for an alcohol-free life without battling alcohol cravings or fearing relapse. ✨ With this podcast we’ll bring you weekly episodes covering a variety of topics, including Sinclair Method success stories, expert tips & insights, the latest science & research, and so much more! Thank you for being a part of our growing community of Thrivers.

Drinking out of boredom is a common challenge for individuals on the Sinclair Method (TSM). Alcohol becomes a conditioned response to various emotions and situations. Breaking the habit requires conscious awareness and finding alternative activities. Boredom can be uncomfortable, but having a list of things to do instead of drinking is crucial. TSM helps to weaken the craving for alcohol, but the habit may still be ingrained and take time to change. It is important to realize that drinking out of boredom is a habit and to practice delayed gratification.

Dr. David Sinclair explains the Sinclair Method, also known as pharmacological extinction, for treating alcoholism. The method involves the use of Naltrexone to block endorphins released when drinking alcohol, weakening the neural pathways associated with alcohol consumption. Extinction is the process of eliminating behaviors that no longer provide reinforcement. The method has been successful in about 80% of alcoholics, but not all types of alcoholism respond to this treatment.
Highlights
🍺 Alcohol addiction is a learned behavior reinforced by endorphins released in the brain.
🧬 Genetic factors can influence the strength of the addiction.
🛑 Alcoholics reach a point where they cannot say no to alcohol.
🧠 The brain has a process called extinction to eliminate behaviors that no longer provide reinforcement.
🐀 Rats take about five days to become obsessed with drinking alcohol.
💊 The Sinclair Method using Naltrexone has been successful in about 80% of alcoholics.
❌ Not all types of alcoholism respond to this treatment.

The Sinclair Method (TSM) encourages surrendering to cravings and having compliant drinking sessions with Naltrexone to undo the wiring in the brain that causes alcohol use disorder.
