Memorable Quotes:

"Not realizing that by repeatedly drinking and also drinking to excess, I was changing my brain and causing this addiction to really set into my brain. And so that's really something that I think is empowering to know that when we have an addiction, it's kind of hijacked our brain. And when we go on the Sinclair Method, it reverses that." – Katie Lain

"My perspective is what doctors don't understand is the craving issue. Because logically, yes, abstinence is probably the safest. And it makes the most sense. It's the easiest to measure. But what I feel like was completely not talked about and ignored in my years of struggle is that mental preoccupation with drinking and the thinking about it." – Katie Lain
