Best program for my substance of preference
While I am unable to attest to alcohol program as a 20+ pack year smoker with genetically predisposed smoking related death on both sides of DNA with COPD that began in late 20s and 5-10 quit attempts Pelago and finally being allowed to use Chantix in addition to patches I have most hope of trying to slow progressional disease I have personally seen the results of continuing my addiction. Especially powerful is knowledge that quitting smoking is not psychologically helpful when obviously there is perceived pleasure so instead I won’t ever quit smoking, but strive to become a non smoker. If the alcohol side is similar in its dramatically more effective than tobacco quit line and surgeon general warnings I’ve long rolled my eyes at after their “support” has become redundant after 20 years then anyone with addiction struggles ought to at least navigate the first bit of the app and remember it is there when they are ready because addiction of anything is probably one of the most sad of public health issues, and we all deserve a stepping stone that is not shameful and fights the systemic oppression of shame and blame but rather glimmer of light in a dark and dangerous world where true empathy and kindness are among the most rare commodities in the world.

Ruined by Generative AI
I used to actually enjoy tracking my habits on this app, but now that the AI is the first thing I see, I’m discouraged from even opening it. I’ve turned it off but it’s still the first thing on my homepage.

Support isn’t great
The counselors are overwhelmed, the support staff is not great. I’ve sent two emails with an issue I’m having with their systems. I have yet to receive a response. While the app does work to help you cut down or stop drinking, having to wait 2-3 weeks for a counselor is tough and the support staff needs some work.
