So there's more space to really change habits, have alcohol-free days and, you know, create a life that revolves less around alcohol.
Imagine battling alcohol addiction for a decade, trying every program and treatment available, only to find nothing works. That's the story of Katie Lain, co-founder of Thrive Alcohol Recovery. In this episode of the SMART Recovery® Podcast, Katie shares her personal struggle and eventual discovery of the Sinclair Method, a game-changer in the world of addiction treatment. Developed by Dr. David Sinclair, this method uses naltrexone, an FDA-approved medication, to block the brain's pleasure receptors when taken before drinking.
Over time, this can reduce cravings and reset the brain to pre-addiction levels. But it's not just about popping a pill; compliance is key. Katie explains the importance of taking the medication 1-2 hours before drinking and sticking to the regimen for long-term success. She also delves into the challenges, like planning ahead and facing alcohol-free days. Katie's story is a testament to the power of evidence-based approaches and finding joy in life's simple pleasures.
If you're curious about innovative addiction treatments or looking for new ways to support your recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen.
