I started the Sinclair method mid-December. I have had unhealthy habits with alcohol since my teens and whilst I wouldn't classify myself as an "alcoholic," I most definitely can admit that I have AUD. I work in hospitality and drinking is part of the culture. 2024 was a heavy, eye-opening year for me. I found myself going out, whether it be for work events or catch ups with friends, telling myself I will only have 2 and stumbling home, waking up the next morning not remembering how I got into my bed. After stressful work meetings, I would go to the pub and have a drink to blow off steam. Before stressful work meetings, I'd drink with lunch. Every night, I'd drink and use the excuse that I was studying for my Level 3 Wines. The truth is, I really couldn't stop THINKING about wine. Every single situation in my life was revolving around it and I ended up hating myself the following day with immense hangxiety and horrific hangover. I lost days of my life - precious moments with my son - to alcohol. It was at the end of the year where I, once again, went overoard during a Christmas lunch party. Lunch turned into more wine at a hotel bar and the rest is a pretty bleak story. The next morning, I was so ashamed of myself and knew I had to make a change. It was time.I had read about the Sinclair Method and had previously reached out but decided at the time not to go through with it. This time was different though. I knew that this was what I needed to do to get my AUD under control. From day one, I felt so much more in control. Adrian and the team have been absolutely incredible at being there through the entirety of the process. Whether that's via email or phone, they are there unconditionally, which is what you need when you are going through this exprience of trying to better yourself. One little pill is all it has taken to completely change my outlook on alcohol. Although it has only been a short time that I've been doing the Sinclair Method, the results have been life changing. I was an "early responder," and whilst at the beginning I found myself thinking about alcohol loads, this has dissipated and I have filled my life with so many other wonderful things now that I am not consumed by it. Whenever I go out, I take my pill and have one or two. I don't even crave another one. I drink infinitely less - I went alcohol free nearly the entirety of January and the difference in my mood, skin, disposition, everything has truly been changed for the better. I am happier, calmer, clearer, able to think through things more rationally, carry on thoughtful conversations, read more, learn more. Yes, there have been moments where I have been extremely stressed where I would love a glass to take the edge off but I am recognising the trigger patterns and addressing them accordingly. To anyone who is considering the Sinclair Method and wanting to truly change their relationship with alcohol, I urge you to take the plunge. You will not regret it. I really do believe it has changed my life and will continue to help me make better decisions in the future. I truly hope that one day The Sinclair Method is more widely available because it would help so many people in need. Addiction is real and alcohol can take a hold over your mind - The Sinclair Method knocks that lizard out of your brain for good as long as you stay compliant. Thank you to Adrian and the team for being a wonderful source of support. It is with gratitude and sincere thanks that I write this review.
