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. ✨

In this episdoe it features a comprehensive conversation between Katie Lane and Kirsten from Sobriety Bestie, focusing on Kirsten’s personal journey with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), her critique of AA’s ideology, and her exploration of alternative approaches to alcohol use disorder (AUD), particularly the Sinclair Method (TSM) involving naltrexone. Kirsten shares her lived experience of 10+ years in AA, her discovery of being neurodivergent (autistic and ADHD), and the harm she believes AA’s ideology causes through identity manipulation, misinformation, and coercion. The discussion also touches on trauma, neurodivergence, addiction neuroscience, recovery alternatives, and cult dynamics within AA.

This episode features Dr. Joseph Volpicelli, a leading expert, researcher, and clinician specializing in the use of Naltrexone (Ntrexone) for treating Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). Dr. Volpicelli discusses the paradox of why, despite Naltrexone’s proven effectiveness in both research and clinical practice, it remains underutilized and relatively unknown among physicians and patients globally. He reflects on the challenges of integrating Naltrexone into mainstream treatment models and the resistance from both academic and clinical communities. The video also touches on shifting cultural perspectives influenced by the opioid epidemic and highlights grassroots demand for innovative treatment options like Naltrexone.

Drawing from personal experience and client interactions, Katie explores why simply taking naltrexone is often not enough and emphasizes the critical importance of actively engaging in mindset shifts and behavioral changes alongside the medication.
