Sober Path isn't just another sobriety counter. It's like having a sponsor in your pocket - one who actually gets it. Built by someone in recovery, for people in recovery. MEET YOUR SPONSORS Choose from 5 unique sponsor personalities, each with their own voice and approach to recovery: - Doug - The Sage. 30 years sober. Calm, blunt wisdom for any storm. - Nick - Tough Love. 12 years. Direct, no-nonsense, effective. - Grace - The Listener. Warm, spiritual, deeply understanding. - Lucas - The Philosopher. Thoughtful, measured, always sees the bigger picture. - Umar - The Brother. Feels like family. Straight-talking, always in your corner. Every sponsor speaks to you in their own voice - real audio responses powered by ElevenLabs Grant programme. SMART SPONSOR RESPONSES Your sponsor adapts to where you are in recovery: - Day-count awareness (early days through long-term sobriety) - Time-of-day sensitivity (late night conversations hit different) - Crisis detection with real helpline resources (Samaritans, SHOUT, 999) - Remembers your recent topics and connects the dots REAL AA WISDOM - Big Book quotes with actual page numbers - 12 and 12 insights for every situation - Practical advice from decades of recovery experience FEATURES - Sobriety day counter - 5 sponsors with unique voices - 20+ conversation topics with audio - HALT check-ins - Big Book wisdom library - Daily reflections - Milestone celebrations - Stoic philosophy curriculum - SOS crisis tools - Dark mode - Clean, distraction-free design WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT Most sobriety apps give you a counter and generic quotes. We give you a relationship. Your sponsor knows the Big Book, understands the program, and speaks to YOUR situation - literally, in their own voice. This is recovery the way it's meant to be - one day at a time, with real support.
