TSM as a Path to Abstinence

Beginning this February, Options Save Lives will host a TSM as a Path to Abstinence support call every month. These meetings are designed to be inclusive, supportive, and affirming for anyone who wants to combine the Sinclair Method with a goal of abstinence.

These meetings are designed to help those new to the Sinclair Method who want to quit drinking alcohol entirely and people who have been on TSM for a while who want to take the next step from moderation to abstinence. Topics may include ways to add additional alcohol free days, ideas for filling the void of alcohol, non-alcoholic alternatives, and more.

Even if you are only able to stay for a portion of the hour, please stop in any time. We will be availble for support whether there is one or 50 people. We recognize there are many intersections in life that can lead to or become triggers, so topics are permitted to drift beyond alcohol use, misuse, and reduction. If it is getting in the way of your recovery, it is a valid topic for discussion. (However, please remember we are not therapists and our resources are limited to alcohol use disorder.)

Out of respect to privacy concerns and the potential for discrimination, this meeting will NOT be recorded. Cameras and microphones are optional. We will have the chat open in case anyone is more comfortable in a text format.

Anyone who fails to respect the dignity of other participants will be removed from the meeting.

Meetings are hosted by Options Save Lives Executive Director Jenny Williamson.
