So stoked to be featured in this article in @TheFP by Teddy Kennedy about #TheSinclairMethod. More people need to know this treatment exists...and we won't stop until it happens! #alcoholism https://t.co/Uukxn3XsXj
You don’t have to quit drinking forever to begin healing your relationship with alcohol. That’s one of the things that makes The Sinclair Method so different. Instead of relying on willpower alone, TSM works on the brain’s learned connection to alcohol over time — helping many people naturally drink less, crave less, and feel more in control.
For most people, that leads to moderation. For others, they eventually lose interest in alcohol altogether and end up going alcohol-free. Ultimately, the choice is yours...and perfection is never the goal....but rather regaining choice, freedom and control. Learn more about this life-changing treatment at https://t.co/IckG27tjoX
Just published this interview with a mom whose son went through the Sinclair Method with Thrive. It’s such a beautiful, honest account of what it’s like to watch your child struggle with alcohol use disorder for years… and then watch them find freedom through naltrexone, TSM and Thrive. 🙌 https://t.co/Ddbmro4Jyu
Wow, this is really exciting! Naltrexone is going to be distributed across hospitals in Tanzania for treating alcohol addiction. https://t.co/mjcMeHklO8
Something that clicked for me about naltrexone…
Last week inside Thrive, we had naltrexone expert Dr. Joseph Volpicelli break this down in a really simple way:
Naltrexone is working in 3 ways:
1. It reduces the reward (the buzz)
2. It reduces the urge to keep going
3. It helps weaken habits & triggers over time
But as many people experience after starting naltrexone ––
Even if the reward is lower,
you can still find yourself drinking out of habit.
That’s why it can feel confusing—
“why am I still drinking if it’s not as enjoyable?”
Because drinking isn’t just about the buzz.
It’s also about patterns your brain has learned over time.
This is why we talk about meeting the medication halfway.
Naltrexone can reduce the reward and the urge…
but habits are what drive behavior day to day.
And habits take repetition to change.
You might feel more in control in one situation…
then a new trigger shows up and it feels like you’re not progressing.
You are.
It’s just a different pattern you haven’t worked through yet.
With TSM, it’s not one thing changing —
it’s layers unwinding over time as your brain unlearns alcohol as a reward.
This is exactly what we help people understand inside Thrive 🤍 To get support for your TSM journey, visit https://t.co/IckG27tjoX
The depth of addiction's impact is only truly seen in retrospect. When loved ones beg you to change, and you can't, it forces a brutal self-reflection on who you've become and the values you thought you held. #AddictionRecovery#SelfReflection
Can people who reach extinction on the Sinclair method continue to drink normally without taking naltrexone beforehand? Here is my personal experience and what I have observed over the years as well.
Naltrexone doesn’t completely block intoxication—it changes the experience. Drinks may still cause tipsiness, but the compulsion to keep going fades. Tracking consumption and being mindful helps regain control.
I am a different person today because of the Sinclair Method…it’s scary to think where I would be without it. I am forever grateful for this treatment…. I feel like it gave me a second chance at life.
The Sinclair method is a truly ground breaking treatment for alcohol addiction that was quietly discovered in the 90s, and is mostly been ignored since then…. It works powerfully to help the brain unlearn alcohol addiction.
@lori3549412250 Try the Sinclair method. You keep drinking but take the pill and over time your brain loses the neural connections to drinking reward system
Often times when people learn about or start naltrexone, they are unclear on the difference between daily dose of naltrexone versus the Sinclair method. I hope this video helps clear it up a bit!
@SSB_Rick Read "Drink Yourself Sober" and research the Sinclair Method. There are alternatives to AA that work well from some. It's not all-or-nothing! Science can help.
Regain control over drinking with the Sinclair Method. It's not about abstaining, but about reclaiming your power. Our coaching makes a huge difference in achieving control and finding your own path. #RethinkDrink#Control
This one made me smile....from a Thrive member 🤗
A first alcohol-free day after 35 years of nearly daily drinking… that’s a big deal. 🙌 Not because it has to mean anything permanent, but because it shows something is starting to shift and the brain is starting to HEAL. 🧠
This is the kind of change we see inside Thrive every day. The video she’s referring to is from our material on Phase 2 of TSM — where we focus on alcohol-free days, habit change, and gently reshaping your relationship with alcohol.

“Just taking a pill won’t fix a drinking problem.”
This is the pushback I get most often when I talk about the Sinclair Method online — and honestly, I agree.
Naltrexone is incredibly powerful. It helps your brain unlearn cravings and stop seeing alcohol as its main reward.
But it doesn’t change habits built over years.
It doesn’t teach new ways to cope with stress or emotions.
It doesn’t magically create a life that no longer revolves around drinking.
That’s where the real work comes in.
Inside Thrive, we say: meet the medication halfway.
When people take naltrexone and just hope for the best, progress can feel slower, harder, and more frustrating than it needs to be.
Real change happens when brain healing is paired with habit change, support, and new coping skills.

Be proud of the work that you’re doing to get yourself out of addiction.
Even it’s THC from booze. Getting a shot, taking a pill, etc
You made the choice to get the bad thing out. Good for you 💪
