When we talk about strategies or tips or how to think about what's going on, you want to think about the initiation phase, the person starting this medication versus the pre extinction stage, still actively drinking, still having craving and then post extinction.
Ever felt like you're fighting an uphill battle with alcohol recovery? In this episode of 'Options Save Lives', Brian Noonan from SinclairMethod.org shares practical advice for tackling common obstacles faced by those using the Sinclair Method. This method, which focuses on harm reduction and moderation rather than total abstinence, has shown promising results but isn't without its challenges. Brian dives into managing expectations, reminding listeners that progress can be slow and steady.
He emphasizes that it's normal to still drink daily initially, but the key is that the amount will gradually decrease. Another significant hurdle is negative self-talk. When progress feels inconsistent, it's easy to be harsh on oneself. Brian advises against setting rigid rules and encourages celebrating small victories instead. Supporting a loved one on this journey also comes with its own set of difficulties. Understanding the method thoroughly and avoiding discouraging comments can make a world of difference.
Brian offers tips like starting the medication during a period of high motivation and practicing kindness towards oneself and others. This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical tips for anyone navigating the Sinclair Method. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding and find support on your path to recovery.
