Today, I sit down with Katie Lain, founder of Thrive Alcohol Recovery, to talk about one of the most unique methods for overcoming alcohol addiction I’ve ever encountered — the Sinclair Method. Ms. Lain walks us through her personal journey from years of daily binge drinking to complete freedom using this medication-based treatment. With over a decade of struggle, Ms. Lain discovered a scientifically-backed approach that doesn’t require abstinence to begin and actually helps the brain unlearn alcohol-dependence through a drug called Naltrexone.

Unlike traditional AA or inpatient rehab, this method works by blocking the brain's reward system during drinking, which leads to reduced cravings over time. Ms. Lain explains how Naltrexone targets the opioid receptors in the brain and rewires the brain’s association with alcohol. We discuss how this approach empowers individuals to regain control over their habits without shame, secrecy, or complete sobriety right away. She also shares the differences between this and older treatments like Antabuse, which work through punishment rather than rewiring.

We go deeper into how Thrive Alcohol Recovery offers a private, judgment-free space with coaches, doctors, group calls, peer support, and structured education that adapts to each user's journey. Ms. Lain outlines what pharmacological extinction looks like — a place where alcohol no longer controls your decisions.
