Options Save Lives

In our season finale, Claudia Christian reflects on the accomplishments and struggles of the C Three Foundation in the organization's first decade, and shares her hopes and dreams for propelling the Sinclair Method into the future.

Season 3 presented by:

Featured guest Rebecca Dean of Your Sinclair Method Coaching covers a wide array of topics including the need for support systems to give their loved one on the Sinclair Method space to direct their recovery journey. We also talk about the benefits of combining TSM with SMART Recovery. 

Featured guest Hannah S. talks about her winding path from addiction to  sobriety, back to addiction again, and eventually to the Sinclair  Method. She shares her struggles with the process and why she proclaims  herself a "poster child" for why medication adherence is critical to the  process.

Featured guest Kristen shares her compelling story, including how the trauma inflicted by traditional alcohol treatment and detox continues to be a hurdle to overcome even with her success on the Sinclair Method.  We also talk about the difference between therapy before and after TSM and adding non-alcoholic beers to help moderate.  

Featured guest Corey B. shares her personal story of the impacts of alcohol in her life, how she "protected" alcohol and struggled with alcohol free days, and her successful journey to recovery using the Sinclair Method.   

Featured guest Brian Noonan, APRN of SinclairMethod.org by Ballard Psychiatry dives into nearly everything you've ever wanted to know about using telemedicine to access the Sinclair Method, give us some straight  talk on side effects, and shares his reflections on that often talked about 78% success rate.  

Featured guest Claire Cazier of Your Sinclair Method Coaching shares how  she got involved with the Sinclair Method, the importance of becoming a  partner with the process, and she flips the interview to help loved  ones see how easily they can find common ground to build empathy for the  person in their life who is using TSM.   

Featured guest Bruce Rose of Alcohol Recovery Scotland and Your Sinclair  Method Coaching discusses some of the obstacles to accessing the  Sinclair Method in the UK, challenges in educating the medical/addiction  community, and about his unicycle quest to raise awareness of TSM.  

Featured guest Samara Ibanez of Your Sinclair Method Coaching shares her experience with TSM and provides an in-depth look at a protocol she developed called The Purposeful TSM Blueprint, which she uses to help her clients reach their alcohol reduction and elimination goals.   

Featured guest Andy M. shares his journey from hiding his drinking in  the basement to success on the Sinclair Method. He also discusses the  importance of support, both from his wife and the TSM community, in  helping him reach his alcohol reduction goals.  

Featured guest Katie Lain of Thrive Alcohol Recovery shares her journey from finding success on the Sinclair Method to becoming a change maker in the lives of countless others who struggle with alcohol use disorder.

Christina T. Veselak, MS, CN, LMFT (CO), founder of Academy for Addiction and Mental Health Nutrition shares her insight on the importance of nutrition in recovery.

Claudia Christian joins the Options Save Lives weekly stream to talk about the value of intentionally seeking out and celebrating successes while on the Sinclair Method.

Dr John Umhau joins us to discuss how to boost endorphins on alcohol free days, which is a key component to Sinclair Method success.

AUD is a serious matter, recovery doesn't have to be. In fact, better results can sometimes be achieved with a combination of TSM and Play. That's right, play, creativity and imagination are the basic tenets of children’s learning, so let's re-incorporate them back into ours. Through play, creativity and imagination, new habits can, and should, be learned in recovery, optimizing TSM results. Imagination will triumph over willpower every time, so learn to reconnect with yours.

Bruce Rose of Alcohol Recovery Scotland returns to talk about parts two and three of the Sinclair Method support process.

TSM Coach Danni El joins the Options Save Lives stream to talk about ways to overcome boredom in recovery to enhance success on the Sinclair Method.
