It's been 4 months so far. It affected my work to the point the I would come to work drunk & I started to say things that I shouldn't say & almost got FIRED.I then gave up Beer & Soda at the same time. My work improved, & My attitude to people improved. My boss she loves my work & I never want to go back to drinking. I am 2 years from retirement. I don't want to screw up my NY pension because I can't live in NY on Social Security alone.
It’s been a month for me, I’ve only had a few difficult temptations but they passed quickly. One thing that really helps is listening to the stories of others. Thank you for sharing your story I appreciate it.
I've been using naltrexone under a doctors supervision for 3 months. I've drank for decades. After six weeks, i quit drinking entirely. Giving me permission to drink doesn't work because I'll drink. A lot. Not drinking and using the drug is working for me. I needed to change my schedule around a bit to fill in some times I used to drink. Today is 41 days, and I'm doing OK. I have no desire to drink again.
U got a gym membership...a Mt bike or a cat
How are you doing now Charlie
Congratulations on your days sober! Don't give up, it will get easier.
Going on 3yrs in December Katie. You have played such a huge role in my recovery with TSM. You are my Angel! Thank you❤️
awe, thanks for you sharing! Bless you.
I drank alcohol every single day for at least 15 years and abused it. I quit cold turkey and had no side effects at all and I am surprised but very grateful. I had no ill affects. No way could I cut down it’s all or nothing. Slowly, I am noticing changes in my body that are positive, because the alcohol rooms the body to shit inside and out! It’s gradual so I didn’t even notice until I noticed and then once I did, it was obvious
I done same 44yrs old, now suffer from, cronic pancreatias, splenic thrombosis, blood clots from drinking 18 ciders a day,
I QUIT, QUITING, PAY THE PRICE, WITH YOUR LIFE, HOPE THIS HELPS YOU AND YOUR LIFE
Congratulations Katie! Keep putting the word out there. It was your story that got me to tell my daughter about the Sinclair method. She took it for about a year but didn't stop drinking and then suddenly quit cold turkey. It's been almost two years now. I can see her life changing, her attitude changing. You are right that it doesn't happen overnight but she doesn't seem to have the desire anymore.
That is just amazing!
I just like to say I am going on 6 years sober and loving every minute of it is a great feeling no hangovers life could be better I have a great Hobby building a model railway in the loft keeps my mind very positive so good luck to all the people who have started being Sober Bill

So happy for you, well done.
I don't always chime in on the comments with these videos, but wanted to drop a line and say that I never miss a single one of them. Your channel and information has really been quite educational for me in a lot of ways. Congrats on your 3.5 years away from the booze.
thank you for your kind comment!
Great job Katie congratulations! I am now 2 1/2 years alcohol free best thing I ever did.

Thank You! Very good presentation!
Congrats! You inspire me. I’m on the process. Such pain involved. But I won’t give up! Thank you 😘
Never give up 🤍❤️ it’s worth it! Are you using naltrexone also?
@@thrivealcoholrecovery Yeah, I am. Since february 17. I've been more alcohol free days, but when the craving come, I drink too much. I had the honey moon periodo, also. But i've doing the process correctly, based on the golden rule. The whole thing It's not easy, but i am sure i will improve.
@@BinhoHeerdt It's a process for sure....time is your ally with TSM :)
Congratulations Katie! That's awesome! I really want to start naltrexone, I've been having a bit of a hard time getting the medication. Have you noticed any long term side effects at all from taking it?
Love ya girl! I found you from TikTok 🥰
Yay! Thank you! 🤍
You’re an angel Katie
I used to blame my partner often for bringing alcohol into our home until I realized the problem was more about me and my decisions related to my sobriety rather than her. I struggled with getting sober again and looked for any other solution other than locking myself away to get through the physical part. SM was something I was interested in but in that mindset I didn’t have the capacity to consistently take the pill. Cleaning up some things from the past once I was able to think straight (which took awhile) was also important for me. Thanks for putting this out there because people are dying daily from alcohol and any tools or medications should be made more accessible and mainstream rather than hanging on to old beliefs regarding alcohol treatment 👍
Thanks for your comment 🙏
I stopped drinking cold turkey 8 years ago. I was drinking 5 days a week. I just didn’t know when to stop.
Hi Katie. I like your videos. I have been watching you for a couple of years. I found you when I was in outpatient rehab and was prescribed naltrexone. I did some research on the Sinclair method and found your videos on RUclips. So fast forward I have 11 months clean from all substances and I'm heavily involved with 12 step recovery. I must admit that I fantasize about going back to drinking moderately by using naltrexone again. What would be your suggestion to someone considering this course of action based on your experience with using naltrexone presumably for pharmaceutical extinction?
Hi! That's an important decision to make. I would say it's totally possible and I've seen others do it with success. But to take the treatment seriously, get support and view it as a way to heal from alcohol use disorder vs "hey it's time to party." Here's one interview I have with a gentleman who did it: ruclips.net/video/6lqmo0f2OAk/видео.html. And if you wanted to plug into more formalized support, we have our program as well :) Wishing you the best whatever you decide. www.thrivealcoholrecovery.com/the-alcohol-freedom-program
thanks for sharing :)
emotional deregulation is a symptom because you become frustrated with yourself for thinking you wouldn’t get through the day without it. addiction is weird because you don’t really know when the day will be that you actually quit. like you pointed out you reach that point that you’ve had enough and i actually thanked god for my horrific last hangover and all the pain i went through for several days this time after having binged meeting up with an old friend i had not seen for years. i was so anxious i over did it. so my plan is to keep watching these videos everyday until i’m in the clear and just never look back. this will be the second i’ve quit. the first time was easier but then i was younger. besides there’s this expensive necklace i’d really like to buy and although it’s a material item it’s an investment also that retains its resell value so it’s not just a frivolous item. are you still on redit. this is my day one 😊
Thank you
I love you. I've watched you for over 4 years so I've seen you're entire arch. I am personally out of control. I need help.
Hi Michael 🤍 I’m so sorry to hear this. Are you on the Sinclair method? Or interested in it? Please write to me katie@thrivealcoholrecovery.com
I’m struggling and beating myself up constantly
I am a opioid and gambluæing guy. No addiction is better or worse. I hold onto the fear of the gambling fear the most. I only 50 dollars the most at a time.
I was scared of gambling. So I made a rule I follow: no local gambling. I do it on vacations but never as a part of daily life. I think that really helped me
Always so, genuine.
I think.
But like Joe Walsh said...
Life's been good to me so far.
But it's been much better without the booze.
Your a cool chick.
Congrats on your milestone, Katie!! I am a licensed therapist and I talk about Naltrexone all the time. People seem to really like hearing about this method - it works!
That’s amazing! Thank you for the work that you do 🙏🏻
How do I get onto this?

I was in the process of getting registered and it’s asking for a coupon code. Is there one still available?
Hi! There isn’t one right now. We offer promos a few times a year. We are not sure when the next one will be, likely not for several months. Sorry about that. Look forward to seeing you inside!!
@@thrivealcoholrecovery thanks for replying. I went ahead and registered!
@@littlegirl3263 yay, can't wait to meet you 🤗
@@thrivealcoholrecovery 💖
Nice
Do you still have to take it every day? Also when would you take it during the day?
I haven't taken it in 3.5 years since I haven't drank. It is only taken 1 hour before drinking :)
You can learn more about the method here -- www.thrivealcoholrecovery.com/the-sinclair-method we also offer a program to guide people through the method 💜
How to get it?
Hi there 👋 we offer a private online program for this treatment. You can learn more and start here www.thrivealcoholrecovery.com/
Great video Katie, Keep putting the word out as I do with all my friends, family and co-workers. The reason you've never heard of Naltrexone (Vivitrol) before is because it's available as generic and so insurance companies can't make millions of dollars off a drug prescription and step-program you don't actually need a program for. (Some do but my life was too busy for higher power meetings). Thank you Katie for getting me this information so many years ago. I encourage everyone who has come to a point where the are just tired of numbing themselves with alcohol everyday to give this method a try. As all addictions go however, you have to be at the point in your life where you are committed to make a change. That is different for everyone, but when you're there you know it.
Note:
Vivitrol (the injectable form if naltrexone) cannot be used for The Sinclair Method to facilitate pharmacological extinction, as it is continually in your system, therefore it does not specifically target the endorphins released when you drink. This monthly injection use of naltrexone has been found to be largely ineffective in numerous clinical trials.
Im 125 days off sobriety 😊
May 2024 will make 3 years 👍🎸
I'm on day one. May the God of my understanding see me through. There is no good reason AT ALL to drink. I know this. Alcoholic drinking is h3!!.
Day 4. Had to get some N/A beer to help fix me. I didn't really care about the .03 or less. But other than that, not a drop.
It's so hard for me to quit
Hi! Have you looked into The Sinclair Method treatment? It doesn't make you quit drinking, you start the treatment while you're actively drinking and it helps you reduce your desire to drink. Learn more here 👉www.thrivealcoholrecovery.com/the-sinclair-method
When the day comes that you wreck your kidneys, your liver and have diabetes, like me, you will. That’s what I did to myself. Please take my advice NOW.
I thought it was supposed to be annonymous?
AA is anonymous. But when you realize that alcoholism is killing you, who cares. Everyone knows that someone is an alcoholic EXCEPT the alcoholic.
