Let’s face it—quitting alcohol overnight can be intimidating, and for many, it’s simply not sustainable. That’s where gradual alcohol reduction offers a more realistic and compassionate approach. Rather than forcing complete abstinence from the start, this method gives us time to adjust our relationship with alcohol in a way that feels manageable and lasting.
Alcohol is a deeply entrenched part of British culture, but its impact goes far beyond the pub and the pint. Across the UK, the cost of alcohol dependency is soaring — not just in human lives but in cold, hard cash. With recent figures placing the economic burden at a staggering £27.4 billion per year, it's clear that alcohol-related harm is not just a personal issue — it’s a national crisis.
Rethink Drink is a UK-based organisation changing the conversation around alcohol recovery. Moving away from rigid sobriety-focused models, they specialise in The Sinclair Method (TSM)—a treatment that uses medication and behavioural techniques to reduce alcohol dependency in a gradual, sustainable way.
The Sinclair Method (TSM) is a medically proven approach to reducing and overcoming alcohol dependence – one that flips conventional treatment on its head. Rather than asking you to quit drinking from day one, TSM invites you to do something far simpler: take a tablet of naltrexone one hour before drinking.
