  I have tryed AA and help from family for years niver worked for me.sorry to say that. But i was on tictock and was watching a guy called bruce. He said he helped people with alochol dependency and i emailed him he emailed me back the next day.He then put me on to a guy called matt when i spock to matt on face to face on zoom i new this is the guy that has faith on me and going to help me with out a dout. I questioned him about his histoy. He told me everything and when a true persons opens up to you. I new i was in that same place where he was before he asked for help.I talked to matt once a week on zoom for an hour and sometimes longer till he told me chris i have an other calent to speck to lol. Also if i was having problems at any time he was just a fone call away.TSM was a life saver that im so glad that i found for years trying to get the help. From drinking 130 units and more a week till 92 units till 50 units till some weeks 40 units now some weeks none.im sure ppl are reading this and saying but you have not stoped drinking but i will say i dont want to quit drinking i just wanted to learn how to reduce and drink sociology when needed. Im happy to sare my time with TSM and my friend matt AND I NO THEY WILL BE THERE FOR ME FOR AS LONG AS WE LIVE THANK YOU SO MUCH MATT AND TSM STAFF FOR HELP..

  I highly recommend Rethink Drink to anyone aiming for a positive change! Though I didn't have a major alcohol issue, I noticed I was drinking a bit more frequently than I liked—one or two nights a week more, with an extra beer or two each time. Thanks to Rethink Drink and their Sinclair Method course, I've regained control while still enjoying a drink when I choose. Now, I effortlessly stop when I've had enough, drinking less than four beers a week. I feel healthier and happier! The program is well-structured, with supportive, knowledgeable coaches.

  I was at a distinctly low point in life. Drink was part of the cause of it, and was not helping me to make good life decisions! I was told about Rethink Drink, and on looking through the website, I was very interested at what it could do for me. Since the start of the programme and 3 months in, I've managed to get my life fully back on track, my drinking has gone from being a heavy drinker, to drinking in 4 weeks what I used to drink in a week. I now feel more healthy, mentally and physically and am very thankful for the help to achieve this. I had Matt coaching me through the programme, and can't thank him enough for the help through the medication course itself, and for the coaching itself. I would recommend this to anyone that has any doubts about their drinking. It's put me in the best place I've been in life so far!

  started on The Sinclair Method (TSM) in June and it has changed my life. I was a weekend drinker, frequently consuming one and a half or two bottles of wine plus a cocktail or two on a Friday and Saturday plus the occasional Thursday or Sunday. Every time I drank I felt unable to stop and experienced black-outs. Surprisingly, no-one was aware that I was having these black-outs every time despite me having to be reminded how I got home or even where we had been. I was always hung-over on weekend mornings and spent a lot of time in bed with paracetamol and hanganxiety. I was increasingly worried about my drinking but despite my best efforts -many sober Octobers, Novembers, Januarys - I was unable to limit myself to a couple of drinks. So, I contacted Bruce at Alcohol Recovery Scotland as I had been told about naltrexone by a friend. After my initial contact I had a Zoom conversation with Bruce and then one with a consultant Psychiatrist. I was then able to be prescribed naltrexone which, along with my weekly chats with Bruce, has changed my life. Bruce has explained to me that my inability to control my drinking is not some terrible weakness on my part but, in fact, a chemical process in my brain that is in no way under my control. My brain “ overreacts” to alcohol and wants more and more to keep getting the good feeling. The naltrexone TSM prescribes simply blocks this process. From the first time I took it I was aware of how much I was drinking and rapidly came to feel in control of alcohol rather than it controlling me. This has been life-changing. I can go to social events and have a couple of drinks! I can have more if I want, but I will be choosing to have them. The number of units I drink has gone from 40+ a week to an average of 4. I chat with Bruce on a weekly basis. It is not counselling per se but a friendly, supportive chat with guidance and encouragement. His only rule is that I take a tablet an hour before I drink. I know that if I needed I could call or text Bruce at any time if was struggling. It has been a challenge to accept that I am not a weak or bad person because I could not control my drinking but TSM is scientifically proven with properly run trials to support it, so, I trusted the science. It certainly works. Thanks to Bruce and TSM my relationships, sleep, anxiety, confidence and general well-being are all massively improved. It is no exaggeration to say this is a game changer. I highly recommend Bruce Rose and Rethink Drink Liz Carrie
