Rethink Drink Arvostelua 

Seven months ago, I embarked on a journey with Rethink Drink that I can only describe as incredible. For years, I struggled with my drinking, tirelessly searching for answers through the conventional routes of abstinence-based programmes. The constant battle felt insurmountable, leaving me frustrated and hopeless.

Then I found Rethink Drink and, more specifically, had the fortune of being coached by Matt. To say this experience changed my life would be an understatement. Matt’s approach, grounded in the innovative Sinclair Method combined with personalised coaching, has been nothing short of revolutionary for me.

Before this programme, I felt trapped in an endless cycle of dependency, guilt, and frustration. Now, I’m living a life I didn’t think was possible. I've regained control over alcohol, and with it, a sense of freedom and empowerment I’d lost hope of ever feeling.

What astounds me most is how such a groundbreaking solution isn’t more widely recognised or utilised. There must be thousands of individuals out there, just like me, battling their dependence on alcohol, unaware that a solution like Rethink Drink exists—a solution that doesn’t just offer a temporary fix but a genuine transformation.

Matt and the Rethink Drink programme have not only provided me with the tools to manage my relationship with alcohol but have fundamentally altered my understanding of recovery. It’s a programme I believe needs to be shared far and wide because nobody should have to go through the struggle of traditional methods when such an effective alternative is available.

I am profoundly grateful for Matt’s guidance, support, and the entire Rethink Drink philosophy. If you’re seeking a path out of the cycle of alcohol dependency, this is it. Rethink Drink has been a lifeline for me, offering a beacon of hope when I needed it most. Trust me when I say, it can be that for you too.

The Rethink Drink program is a life, wife and family saving program (not to sound too cliché). I cannot emphasise the effect this little white pill has had, thats not to say its not been hard, hard work and a struggle at times but it has turned my relationship with alcohol around. I have tried numerous times to stop or to cut down on the drink but slowly and surely it creeps back into my life, never leaving me, the want, the need never letting up, but now I have the control not it! The pill and program has put me in full control, I can choose to have a drink or not, I've walked into the shop with the full intention to buy some alcohol, got caught up buying some bread and walked out forgetting to pick some drink up. Never in my life has that happened. Just for some clarity here I was drinking to excess, I've had times waking up not knowing where I've been, who I've been with or what I've done. Before starting the program I had done a lot of work, I got myself from over 100units plus a week to 70ish but the pull and tug continued to be there. I then met Matt and the program. Look, you have to admit to yourself you have a problem, want to change your relationship with alcohol (yes you can still have a relationship). Why this pill is not widely available makes no sense. Game changing 5 star program all the way, Matt is approachable and easy to talk too, he knows and understands. P

Matt was so supportive and understanding and having someone who had experienced the same things was a source of great comfort and peace. Having the calls with Matt helped hold me accountable and provided a real safe space to talk my anxieties through.
TSM provided me the missing piece of the puzzle, something that AA and therapy never could. The best investment I have made and I could not recommend it more highly.
My advice to anyone debating TSM: do it, follow the instructions and trust the process!

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
