Transforming Alcohol Recovery with the Sinclair Method: A Conversation with Katie Lain

In this episode of the Samantha Parker Show, Samantha sits down with Katie Lain, founder of Thrive Alcohol Recovery, to discuss her decade-long struggle with alcohol and how discovering the neuroscience-based Sinclair Method transformed her life. Katie shares her journey from binge drinking to becoming an advocate for medication-assisted treatment and the Sinclair Method, which uses Naltrexone to help reduce alcohol cravings and promote controlled drinking. The episode covers the brain science behind alcohol addiction, the inefficacy of many traditional abstinence-based treatments, and how Katie turned her recovery into a mission-driven business. They also discuss the importance of finding the right treatment, whether it's AA, the Sinclair Method, or another path, and emphasize the need for individual motivation and gradual lifestyle changes for sustainable recovery.
