For decades, the dominant message in recovery has been clear:
quit completely, or fail.
But what if there’s another way?
Journalist, author, and podcast host Katie Herzog joins Running
Free to discuss her new book, Drink Your Way Sober—a deeply
personal and well-researched look into The Sinclair Method, a
medication-assisted approach that helps people reduce or
eliminate alcohol without white-knuckling abstinence.
Katie blends memoir and reporting to challenge long-held
assumptions about addiction and recovery, including her own. In
this conversation, she and Jesse dig into how naltrexone,
neuroscience, and harm reduction are helping thousands rewrite
their relationship with alcohol—quietly, effectively, and without
shame.
We discuss:
What The Sinclair Method is—and why so few people know about
it
Why complete abstinence isn’t the only path to recovery
How trauma, compulsion, and biology intersect in addiction
Katie’s personal story and why she believes this message
matters now more than ever
How we can bridge the gap between traditional recovery and
science-based innovation
This episode is for anyone questioning alcohol, looking for
options, or ready to think differently about what recovery can
look like.
