Whether you’re on Day 1 or Day 10,000, this community provides the type of support you need to embark on a more fun, more connected, and more authentic life. If you’ve concluded that alcohol isn’t doing you any favors in life, then you’re in the right place. And it turns out alcohol, even one drop, is NOT good for your health.

A respectful, judgment-free, supportive place to recover from alcohol addiction, the Café RE App is designed to be your primary connection tool for everything recovery-related, including: multiple community chats/meetings, private community platform to connect with members and get support, an option to connect with an accountability partner, multiple local and interest-based subgroups, independent meetups in real life, yoga, service projects, recovery courses and resources, book club, movie club, discounts to Recovery Elevator retreats and events, and so much more. You can’t do this alone, so join us at Café RE! We wholeheartedly believe there is no wrong way to recover and we celebrate all modalities of ditching the booze. Get the accountability and community you need, where we are leveraging technology to connect you to members who are also departing from alcohol. See you inside. -- Terms of Use: mn.co/terms-of-use
