Chapters

And then there's another method that I'm going to talk about today called the Sinclair method. There's been books about this and doctors really preaching this, but it hasn't caught a lot of traction because there's so much institutional bias against anything other than all or none. So the normal approach your doctor will have is either all you go abstinent, never drink again for rest of your life, or none. And don't do anything. Just live with it. The Sinclair in a method involves a process called extinction and a drug called naltrexone. So naltrexone to diminish your cravings for alcohol. Over time, the cravings reduce, typically at between three months and a year. Cravings reduce, and then they no longer have as much of an addiction. Alcohol.
