Unlocking Alcohol Recovery: Wisdom from Dr. John Umhau and Katie Lain

If you're doing the Sinclair method, you don't have to stop drinking, you just have to want to get better and not drink to excess, not to get drunk all the time, and then you've got the freedom to take a drink or not, and you've got the clarity of mind to kind of live your life the way you want to, instead of being overwhelmed with the desire to drink and thinking about alcohol all the time.
Feeling like you're stuck in a loop with alcohol? This episode of Elevation Recovery might just be the key to turning things around. Hosted by Katie Lain, co-founder of Thrive Alcohol Recovery, the conversation features Chris Scott of Fit Recovery and Dr. John Umhau, a veteran in alcohol addiction research and treatment. They cover a variety of topics that can change the way you approach recovery.
One standout discussion is about the Sinclair method, a fascinating approach that allows individuals to drink while taking medication that reduces the urge to overdo it. Imagine having the power to decide when to stop without feeling deprived. Dr. Umhau and Katie also dive into the biopsychosocial-spiritual model, emphasizing that recovery isn't just about quitting alcohol but about healing your whole self. Nutrition's role in addiction recovery is another hot topic. Dr.
Umhau shares his insights on how what you eat can impact your journey to sobriety. From vitamins to balanced meals, they discuss practical tips that can make a real difference. The episode doesn't stop there; it also touches on medication-assisted treatment and how these methods can be integrated into a holistic recovery plan. Perhaps the most inspiring part of the conversation is the emphasis on finding meaning and purpose in your recovery journey.
It's not just about stopping drinking; it's about building a life that feels worth living. With resources like Dr. Umhau's website and Chris Scott's Total Alcohol Recovery course, this episode is packed with actionable advice and support. Whether you're just starting out or looking for new strategies to maintain your progress, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge and encouragement.
