Thrive Alcohol RecoveryReviews of thrivealcoholrecovery.com

When I started with Thrive, I’d been drinking most evenings for years — other than when I was expecting or doing a “Dry January” or “Sober October”. Ten months after starting, I’d completely broken out of that pattern. Now I drink only when I choose to. And I stop after one. This happened by taking Naltrexone an hour before drinking alcohol and — after a few months — by taking baby steps to break away from old habits. I never had to label myself, fit my life around doctors or meetings (though meetings work for many), or worry about “never drinking again” — fears that often keep people — including me — from seeking help, worrying they should be able to handle it alone or that they’ll lose a coping tool or become “boring". Thrive understands these concerns and offers a space free of shame, judgment, or pressure, gently meeting people exactly where they are. If you’re even considering making a change, Thrive is a place where you can do it without fear, without pressure, and without losing yourself. I know without question that I wouldn’t be here without TSM and the incredible Thrive community. It has required me to make a deep commitment, but like any worthwhile pursuit it has been worth it. I am grateful.

So look, we’re talking about alcohol recovery, so it’s a little weird to put yourself out there with a review. Meanwhile, I am so appreciative of Thrive and Katie that it will sound over the top if I authentically say what I think and feel. I’ll just say it this way: if AA isn’t for you then this is your go to, full stop. Thrive is less a community and more an ecosystem of everything you need to address whatever needs to be addressed with alcohol. It is a community for sure, but you can have a group of friends who are just a bunch of boneheads. I have a group of friends and I love them. But also, boneheads. In Thrive, every expert you need to address this issue is there. Quit acting like managing your drinking is the right plan. Join Thrive and get on it.

I'm still pretty new to Thrive and what I can say so far is that it is a very comprehensive program. There are so many resources available, daily motivational prompts, 2-3 weekly group meetings (optional but so supportive), frequent workshops from coaches as well and clinicians, etc. The site is very user friendly too. Response from coaches is fast. I feel acknowledged, supported and part of a compassionate community.

Thrive has been a life saver for me. There is so much information, and acceptance through this group. Gave me the courage to try the Sinclair Method, and the sense of self worth and value that drinking and shame had stolen from me. I do not interact all the time, but I know Thrive is there when I need it. To feel accepted, included, and self determined. Thrive gives me strength.

To me TSM is a miracle. Thrive made this miracle possible. It’s not just swallowing a pill one hour before you drink it’s the work that goes along with it where Thrive comes in. Katie the founder and the other coaches with all the zoom meetings where you can get help and support. The specialty zoom meetings held my doctors and therapists ready to answer any questions along the way. The raw honesty from other members that makes you feel normal. For me there was no other help that worked and this was a gentle way to recover.

Highly recommend a true life saver I would give it 100 stars if I could

The Thrive leadership team, counselors and professional advisors are all excellent communicators, targeting just the right amount of information on a consistent basis. In addition, the Thrive library contains extensive resources for those who want more answers and support not only for themselves, but for spouses/significant others/family. Thrive allows each of us to customize our AUD program at a depth and frequency best suited to personal needs. This is a very well designed and managed rehabilitation program delivered with a personal yet confidential touch.

I've been a daily, heavy drinker for over 4 decades. I've tried AA and about 6-7 other programs of all kinds. Nothing compares to the experience and results I've achieved with Thrive Alcohol Recovery. Releasing yourself from Alcohol Use Disorder requires so much more than taking a pill. The step-by-step information and education is invaluable. The love, support, encouragement and coaching is fabulous and just what I needed. I've been with Thrive for about 4 months now. Quite honestly, I don't know if my end-goal is to stop drinking altogether or to be able to enjoy a cocktail on occassion. But, I'm confident that regardless, I will finally let go of the demon that controls me daily and find a path through life that does not have to be subservient to an addictive, life-damaging toxin.
