Rethink Drink Reviews 48

Simply life changing! Amazing support from the team throughout and it never felt like a struggle but 100% I feel like I have control of alcohol now rather than it controlling me. It just works.

At last, I've got that viscous alcohol monkey off my back. The monkey that was increasing its vice-like grip on me. And that has blighted my life for past 30 plus years. With the help of Bruce from Rethink Drink I am in the process of being cured from alcohol use disorder (AUD). The Rethink Drink programme has turned a dream — gaining control over alcohol — into a reality. Thanks to the programme, which involves taking a medicine called naltrexone along with both one-to-one and group coaching and support, I've gradually, calmly and easily dropped my alcohol consumption from 60-70 units a week to between zero and 15 units a week. Unthinkable, for me, in the past. This means that now, I'm having days (and even weeks) where I don't drink alcohol at all. And nor do I want to. It's a miracle! A scientific, medical miracle — a contradiction in terms I know but I'll take it all day, every day. I'm based in Ireland but my location is not a barrier as Rethink Drink is a location-independent programme. Thanks to the Rethink Drink Programme, the booze is slowly but surely moving from the (unwanted) centre of my life to the fringes. Bruce is an expert coach who has given me full support and guidance on this journey to a new me. While naltrexone has erased most of my alcohol cravings, quelled the aggravating alcohol chatter in my head and put me in increasing control of alcohol, Bruce has been my torch bearer on this path, lighting the way and helping me to avoid roadblocks and pitfalls on the way. I cannot recommend Bruce and Rethink Drink highly enough. If you are thinking about punching that monkey off your back and giving yourself the gift of a new, better life, don't hesitate to sign up to the Rethink Drink Programme today.

Had a abstinence based recover and kept falling. Heard about this programme and IT just made sense to treat alcoholism with medication along side a plan.

Great support, great 1 to 1 worker. Always there for me and he was very knowledgeable.

I am so pleased I actually contacted Rethink Drink.
Being in control of my alcohol consumption now is SO liberating - I wish I had done it sooner.
The thought of not having wine in my daily life was very daunting but the Sinclair Method just takes the fear away because you still drink alongside taking the Naltrexone one hour before.
What is amazing is that the wine is not foremost in my mind anymore and I’m not planning my life around it.
My consumption has reduced by 81% in the three months I have been on the programme and I think it will reduce further but I know if I want to enjoy a tipple or two with friends - I can but it’s a definite decision on my part not because I’m not in control like before.
Thank you to Matt - he was so professional, non judgmental and encouraging - and very much key to helping me reach my goal.

The Re Think drink programme has been a real eye opener after such a long time of failure after failure. Steve is and has been amazing, I would highly recommend. From drinking well over 100 units each week to below 40. I feel I now have the control back and find myself loving life and myself again. If you are thinking about getting on board then you truly should. Don't waste time with other programmes as I can assure you I've tried everything to no avail.

ReThink Drink has been an absolute life-changer for me. I came to the program drinking daily, feeling trapped and out of control - there wasn't an end in sight for me, to be honest. Slowly, ReThink Drink helped me shift that narrative. Special thanks to Steve, who has truly been on my side every step of the way. He never judged, only encouraged, and his support made a huge difference in my journey to be honest. Steve's support was second to none, always felt like he was on my side and cheering me on.

The program itself isn’t about quitting overnight; it’s about reclaiming control gradually, which is exactly what I needed and to be honest, it was what I wanted. I don't think I was ready to quit immediately, I wanted to, but I just wasn't... Ready. It wasn't an overnight thing at all, but after 3 months I feel like a different person. The difference in my life is incredible, and I feel hopeful and strong again. Thank you, ReThink Drink, for introducing me to the Sinclair Method, and a huge shoutout to Steve for making this possible and holding my hand all the way - we did it man.

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 highly recommend Rethink Drink to anyone aiming for a positive change!

Genuinely could not have imagined where I’d be at the end of the three months with rethink and Matt.

I spent the last 10+ years abusing alcohol and had tried more times than I can remember to break the cycle and get some control on my drinking, to no avail, until I joined rethink.

I came across them on social media and was initially skeptical at the success rate. Needless to say I spent the next month extensively researching and I could see nothing negative about it online so I decided to sign up with nothing to lose.

I can say with certainty that that was one of the most important decisions I’ve made because from that day my life changed completely! Matt has built a program that is supportive, informative and through his own experience he gives sound advice to navigate through the process into controlled drinking.

Could not recommend Rethink more, if you need help with your drinking and want a life where drink no longer controls you then this is 100% the program you need to be on!

I decided to enrol because I'd began to slip back into old patterns of drinking behaviour and wanted to regain a more mindful approach to my alcohol consumption. Matt and the team at Rethink Drink are very professional in their approach to the coaching calls, providing real world experience and coaching techniques alongside a science backed approach which I found most helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this program to anyone who has decided that now is the time to get a handle on their drinking and need additional support without the fear of abstinence or judgment.

Can’t thank rethink drink enough.
Service transparent and excellent start to finish.
After a bad experience with another company this company did everything they said they would do.
Highly recommended

I can't thank matt Brindley and rethink drink enough. You have helped me to completely turn my life around.i have suffered with this illness for many years and was getting progressively worse .I honestly did not think there was any hope for me but the sinclare method was my answer. I now longer crave a drink because I know if I want a drink I can have 1 .I have tried all the other platforms and 12 step programme but it wasn't for me .the support and guidance I have received has been second to none thankyou rethink drink for giving me my life back

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!

After many years of having a very unhealthy relationship with alcohol I began googling herbal remedies, holistic cures - anything. Quite by chance I happened upon Claudia Christian doing a TED talk - a HUGE light bulb moment - was this 'cure' really to be believed? The miracle drug was unavailable on the NHS which still astounds me with the now known high percentage success rate. Thankfully undaunted I returned to the C3 TSM (The Sinclair Method) website who linked me up with Bruce Rose of Rethink Drink and my recovery journey really began. I got the prescription privately through a professional Bruce hooked me up with. Bruce was with me every step of the way with helpful advice and pointers and I completed a weekly drink diary. Almost 5 years on my life has turned around and I am beyond grateful I persevered - alcohol has no longer got a hold over me and now 'I am the Master of my Fate and the Captain of my Soul' (William Henley - Invictus) I am thankful every day I found this miracle cure

I started my journey 7 weeks ago and to say I’m amazed at how it has changed my life for the better, I was drinking every single night 7 to 8 cans of beer to only drinking once a week now , I now feel in control of my life and of my drinking, I can not thank Matt enough for all his help and support 🙏🏼my journey is not over yet but I can see the light and it’s all thanks to this amazing program I highly recommend it if you are struggling to get control over your drinking, I’m based in Ireland and I really hope this program takes of in Ireland for people who are struggling, reach out and get this amazing program 🙏🏼

When I signed up with Rethink Drink 8 weeks ago I was drinking between 2 and 3 bottles of wine a night, 7 days a week. I was at rock bottom and saw no way out. I had approached other services who told me I needed to go to 24 meetings, go on a detox program and be alcohol free for 7 days before I could be prescribed Naltrexone. Even though I told them I don't have 12 weeks left in me they sent on me on my way and told me to check in again when I was sober! The thought of having to white knuckle it and detox on my own whilst attending meetings with absolute strangers put the fear of God into me and it was never going to work for me.

I had given up all hope and was barely existing when I came across Rethink Drink on a TikTok live and could not believe what I was hearing. I could sign up to their program and be prescribed Naltrexone immediately without having to detox or stop drinking straight away. It sounded too good to be true but I was desperate to get a handle on my drinking and had nothing left to lose so took the plunge and signed up - and boy am I glad I did!

To say my life has changed in 8 weeks is an understatement! I have gone from drinking between 180 - 200 units of alcohol a week to less than 50 units with alcohol free days in between. Matt, my coach, has walked this very difficult journey with me every step of the way. We have weekly catch ups and he has been available on the other end of the phone whenever I have experienced a wobble or doubted the process. The weekly meetings take place on Zoom, so no having to meet up and be vulnerable with strangers. It is just you and your coach on a Zoom call, being real and very supportive. Matt and Bruce have many, many years experience in their field and have walked this journey themselves so no judgement from them was a massive comfort to me.

8 weeks ago I was at rock bottom and now I am happier than I have been in a very long time. My husband has said he now has his wife back. My daughter has told me how much she has missed me, and my parents are left wondering what has gotten into me. I have gone from wishing my days away due to self loathing, hangxiety and depression, spending most days in my dressing gown until I can muster up the energy to have a shower and get dressed, sometimes not leaving my house for 2 weeks at a time to waking up before 6am, getting dressed straight away, doing a yoga session or baking pies before 7am! I have found joy in the small things, like gardening and art. My life no longer revolves around 'wine o clock'. I'm not biting my nails waiting for 5pm so I can have a drink after a hard day. My social anxiety has disappeared and I now spend a lot of time at a community allotment talking to absolute strangers and finding joy in seeing seeds grow! I get out for walks on a daily basis and take each day as it comes. I no longer wake up with a feeling of dread wondering what I had said or done the night before. If you had asked me 8 weeks ago if I could see myself having one alcohol free day in 8 weeks time I would have laughed but here I am having 3 alcohol free days some weeks. I still have some way to go but those feelings of hopelessness and failure have now been replaced with determination and pride! Feelings I never thought I would experience. The mental clarity that comes with drinking less and less as the weeks go by have allowed me to find ME, and like ME again.

I (and my family) cannot thank Matt, Bruce and the Rethink Drink program enough for saving my life.

If you are in need of support and guidance on how to get a handle on your drinking, you don't have to feel alone, contact Rethink Drink for a chat you wont be sorry you did!

I worked with Matt for 8 months and am truly grateful that I had the opportunity to work with him as I got so much out of my coaching sessions. Matt was patient and committed - TSM is not a linear process and there were many weeks where I didn’t manage the reduction we had planned, but he kept me focussed by pointing out the positives and reassuring me it was working. I am in a great position to carry on with my TSM journey now. I’ve made a massive step change in reduction over the weeks, and the freedom that comes with that is incredible.
I would recommend Rethink Drink to anyone struggling with AUD. TSM really is life changing (and life saving) and Matt and Bruce run an amazing programme.

Last year my husband said “I’m starting to worry a bit” which made me think about my alcohol intake... small things like - forgetfulness, fuzzy head, bags under eyes from poor sleep, struggling to concentrate… started getting harder and harder. So I tried the Alan Carr easy way to stop drinking, didn’t work, I tried not drinking in the week but then basically made up for it on the weekends. I’ve not tried AA but personally knew it wasn’t for me. Call it denial but for me I was still a “normal drinker” (1-2 bottles of wine a night..!) My physical and mental health also suffered massively and I had to take time off work due to stress and anxiety which in hindsight was totally exacerbated by the alcohol.

And then I found TSM… I had known about it for a while but was sceptical. I tried it out because the research behind it made sense to me... and I haven’t looked back!!

What I would say is that you have nothing to lose.. I’m now 6 weeks in and only this past week I’ve noticed I’ve stopped obsessing and constantly thinking about alcohol. I’ve had so many alcohol free days and have rejoined the gym. I honestly can’t wait to get better and better.

The coaches are amazing - it's a must!! It's not a magic pill but the program is designed to ensure maximum success. Huge shoutout to Matt Brindley who has been instrumental to my positive journey so far!! He has quite literally transformed my life and I will be forever grateful.

Stumbling across a live Rethink Drink on Tik Tok changed my life. My drinking had been gradually increasing after Covid, the breakdown of my marriage along with a few other social and personal factors. I only drank in the evening but at what point would I want to start earlier in the day? I thought that could happen and knew I wanted to do something about it, but wasn’t sure I was committed to giving up alcohol totally. I had tried lots of different options…. hypnotherapy, workshops, Alcohol free experiments, abstinence programmes. I read books and listened to podcasts etc etc but I still felt stuck when it came to my drinking. That is until I signed up to RETHINK DRINK. With the amazing support of Matt and Bruce and THE SINCLAIR METHOD (TSM) I have reduced my alcohol consumption by over 30 % in the first few months. My desire to drink and the triggers that would usually lead me to want to drink alcohol have completely changed. I still have some work to do on my habits but I can hand on heart go to a pub or social event and not feel like I missing out by not drinking an alcoholic drink … in fact, I actually prefer not drinking sometimes. This was huge for me. The taste of alcohol has also changed and I am finding I don’t enjoy it as much as I once did. I still have more work to do ( it’s a gradual process but brings lasting change) but my unit intake continues to fall and never have I once felt I was deprived. I cannot recommend Matt and Bruce at RETHINK DRINK highly enough. It has changed my life and in turn, those around me too. It’s the best investment I have ever made and what better way to invest than in yourself !

Thank you Matt and Bruce, the work you do is not only changing but also saving the lives of so many. Please keep going!!

For almost twenty years I had a secret problem with alcohol, I still feel amazed to say that today I don’t. Rethink Drink helped me finally and permanently solve the problem, in a way that I’d never imagined was even possible. I still drink now but with absolutely no anxiety around it. All stress and shame and worry is gone. I’ve regained complete control over when and how much I drink, which is barely ever now to be honest. At Christmas or weddings, or if I ever do just feel like it, I can drink with everyone else and effortlessly stop when I want to. It’s total night and day from where I was. One of my parents was alcoholic, and it cost them their life, so I can honestly say that Rethink Drink has saved my life. I was on a very dangerous path. I only wish I’d heard of TSM years ago. If you or someone you know is struggling, contact Matt and Bruce. They’re really sound and totally down to earth. They know exactly how to guide you through the process, no matter how long or how much you’ve been drinking. They can help you. It’s the best step I’ve ever taken for myself and my family.

I cannot recommend this enough!

Today marked the end of my 3 month program. I started this as I was drinking more often than I wanted to and consuming more alcohol per sitting than I planned to. I was averaging 5 days a week drinking and there hadn’t been a weekend that I’ve not drank in 5-10 years.

I was regularly planning to, trying to and failing at reducing the amount I drank on a regular basis but it never seemed to happen. Drinking was what I looked forward to and the thing I worked towards most days or to celebrate the arrival of the weekend. The problem was the regret was outweighing the reward so I decided to give this a go after seeing a friend having success with it.

Once I started the process it took effect for me quite quickly. It simply reduced the amount that I enjoy drinking, the warm fuzzy feeling (that I didn’t even realise I got until this) was gone. It’s not been completely linear, I’ve had some reasonable drinking sessions in the last 3 months but a lot less and not as extreme as they have been prior to this and they’ve just become less and less as the desire is no longer there.

I was never planning to stop drinking completely and I’m still not as I don’t feel the need to decide but as I write this it’s been 3 weeks since I last drank alcohol, I’ve been away with friends and out for meals with them etc and I’ve not felt the urge to drink so simply haven’t.

Matt the coach that has spoken to me on a weekly basis is such a genuine, easy to talk to guy and is passionate about this method which I’m sure has been a big contributor to my success.

Simply life changing!
