Buyers beware
This app has been defunct since the creators left it to the hands of other non certified developers. This app is a loose thread in recovery and may need to better function with newer ideas like calm app and other cbt free app features for those who can process therapy for free like Wysa app for cbt therapy and ai coach therapies. I feel this app is severely detrimental to new beginnings and newcomers in recovery and could be slated for a better social media platform at their targeted level in recovery members of this app. It just doesn’t fit the criteria of those who are willing to work a program of recovery rather than deceit towards using for many of the individuals on here. I noticed a few members wallowed on their losses and on the creators support which I can empathize but gee wiz there are a lot of people out there willing to get support in their recovery. Just icymi.

Number #1 National Telehealth App
Sober Grid is the number one app of its kind nationally. This is the opinion of myself, one mental health telehealth treatment expert and over 300 current and past clients.I have used Sober Grid as my go-to sobriety resource with my clients for well over ten years. My clients have met with success in every single instance. My professional review, along with client reports indicate that this app addresses developing healthy lifestyles through lessening your dependence on alcohol. It is with no reservation whatsoever that I highly recommend your use of Sober Grid in your own personal struggles with sobriety.

Really helps! Wish I would have signed up yeses ago.
When I first found this app, I didn’t sign up because I was afraid that I would encounter people I knew. But, after signing up, I found that everyone is from all over the country and world. I feel kind of anonymous, yet I have made several personal connections and real friends. And everyone here is full of positivity and support! When I log on daily, I have so much more resolve, optimism and ease to handle cravings and related issues. This is the best place for anyone wanting to get sober and those who want to stay sober.

I’m all for anything that promotes the outreach of recovery to those that need. I may have certain personal principles that don’t parallel those that control this company, but I agree that every possible avenue needs to be pursued so that people can get the help they need. Being in recovery myself and being ex career peer recovery support, I know the epidemic from a multitude of viewpoints, I recommend this app even more so given the challenges of the pandemic, the limitations in local government and medical resources, as well as the stigma and general attitude of the public towards people who struggle with addiction and mental health problems. Thank you for this resource and those who participate for nothing more than to help the next addict in turmoil and bring them the chance of a better life!

Definitely helpful
While I dont feel this is enough to build a firm foundation in recovery, i do find it an additional helpful tool. Im in long term recovery and this didn’t exist when i got clean but wish it did. What i really like is a) the anonymity if you choose, b) the fact that you can reach out to people with similar issues or interests such as ptsd, cbt, alternative pathways to recovery or narcotics anonymous as well as see who is nearby you, c) it’s wonderful for those 3:00 in the morning emergency situations when you don’t want to wake anyone but feel like you need to reach out for support to get through something (very helpful when you have a chronic illness thats flaring up and you are in agony and your disease is messing with you). I met some lovely people and as a result am part of a newish (developed at start of pandemic)recovery group that meets online and absolutely love this group!! So helpful.
