It’s a common concern: Am I drinking too much? And with good reason. While 14 units per week is the current UK guideline for low-risk drinking, what really matters is how alcohol fits into your lifestyle and mental health.
When alcohol begins to reshape who you are, it’s normal to wonder, “Where did I go?” That’s why at Rethink Drink, we’re passionate about helping you be you again—without guilt, shame, or impossible expectations. The Sinclair Method (TSM) offers a science-led path to overcoming alcohol use disorder (AUD) that’s built on trust, not cold turkey. Let’s dive into how it works and why it’s helping thousands reclaim their lives—quietly, powerfully, and with dignity.
Alcohol dependency isn’t about weakness or moral failure. It’s a complex condition involving the brain’s natural reward mechanisms. When we drink alcohol, our brains release endorphins—feel-good chemicals that act on the same receptors as opioids. This creates a pleasurable feedback loop, making it more likely that we’ll continue drinking to chase that feeling.
Dr David Sinclair was a pioneering scientist whose research led to the development of The Sinclair Method (TSM) for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) recovery.
