This episode features an in-depth live Q&A session hosted by two experienced Sinclair Method (TSM) coaches, Samara and Katie. They address common questions, share personal experiences, and offer practical guidance about the Sinclair Method—a pharmacological treatment for alcohol use disorder (AUD) involving the medication naltrexone (referred to as “N treone” or “nrexone” in the transcript). The session aims to educate, support, and provide clarity for individuals at various stages of the TSM journey.

About Katie Lain

Katie Lain struggled with alcohol use disorder for nearly ten years until she stumbled upon The Sinclair Method. She couldn’t believe how effective the treatment was as it truly allowed her to become a moderate “normal drinker” – yet somehow, most people hadn’t even heard about it before. Katie Lain’s personal success with The Sinclair Method has inspired her to be a lifelong advocate for this method. Today, Katie is "accidentally" alcohol-free as she unexpectedly lost interest in drinking, thanks to this treatment. Now she advocates for and supports others through this wildly effective (yet unknown) treatment for alcohol use disorder.

Katie Lane, founder of Thrive Alcohol Recovery and a Sinclair Method (TSM) success advocate, addresses a common challenge faced by many people using the Sinclair Method: the perception that the method has stopped working after an initial period of success. She explains why this experience occurs, breaks down the treatment into three phases, and emphasizes the importance of combining medication with mindful drinking practices, habit change, and cultivating coping skills to achieve sustainable results.

In this episode features a live mindful drinking session centered on the Sinclair Method (TSM), a scientifically supported approach to reducing alcohol dependency using the medication naltrexone. The hosts engage with Eric, a long-time user of TSM, who shares his personal journey, insights into mindfulness, and practical guidance on how to integrate mindfulness with the Sinclair Method to optimize outcomes. The conversation addresses the challenges of habitual drinking, compliance with medication protocols, the role of intention, and how to apply mindfulness both during drinking sessions and in social contexts. The session also covers the importance of tracking drinks, managing cravings, and reshaping one’s relationship with alcohol.
