Rethink Drink is a UK-based organisation changing the conversation around alcohol recovery. Moving away from rigid sobriety-focused models, they specialise in The Sinclair Method (TSM)—a treatment that uses medication and behavioural techniques to reduce alcohol dependency in a gradual, sustainable way.
When you're navigating alcohol use disorder (AUD), few things are more powerful than hearing from someone who's been where you are—and found a way out. At Rethink Drink, we're proud to share real, verified success stories for The Sinclair Method (TSM) as experienced by our clients.
For decades, the idea that "once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic" has dominated conversations about addiction. This belief suggests that those who struggle with alcohol use disorder (AUD) must either embrace lifelong abstinence or face inevitable relapse. However, with advancements in medical research, treatment approaches, and personal choice, this old concept no longer holds up.
The reason alcohol feels rewarding is deeply rooted in brain chemistry. When we drink, alcohol stimulates the release of endorphins, which are the body's natural feel-good chemicals. These endorphins interact with opioid receptors in the brain, producing sensations of euphoria, relaxation, and stress relief.
