The science of addictive sobriety. A luxury experience based on 27+ years of behavioural science that replaced alcohol with joy.

Track sober days. Open daily cards. Build a private deck. Use calming rituals. Follow the 70-day Altered Method and start your next Chapter inside the House of Altered. WHY ALTERED IS DIFFERENT Most sobriety apps count what you gave up. Altered is built around what you are becoming: clearer, sharper, calmer, more present and more in control of the life you want. This is a quit drinking app with the atmosphere of a private members’ club: elegant design, daily rituals, tactile progress, anonymous community cards and a little mystery. Not another noisy feed. Not another lecture. Not a sterile counter with a badge stuck on it. WHAT YOU GET Sober day tracker Log each day, view your total sober days, follow your current streak and see your progress build over time. Your sober coin Your coin shows total sober days. If you drink, your streak can reset, but your total sober days remain part of your story. Daily card packs Open cards from the Altered Method. Each card gives you one clear idea, a short explanation and a small action to help you rethink alcohol, habits and identity. Private deck Save the cards that land. Return to them when you need a reminder, a sharper thought or a reason to keep going. The 70-day Altered Method Move through a structured sober-life path for rethinking alcohol, building habits and finding alcohol-free joy. Calming rituals Use Growth Rituals for positive reflection and Release Rituals for private symbolic release. Ritual entries are not saved. Calm tools Use guided breathing, a short guided walk and Coin Shine, a tactile calming tool for moments when old drinking thoughts get loud. Anonymous community cards Every Sunday, write a card for another member and receive one back. Human, anonymous and designed for belonging without social media chaos. Alfie, your members’ manager Alfie is scripted, discreet and encouraging. He appears throughout the app with calm reminders, celebration and a bit of polish. WHO ALTERED IS FOR Altered is for people who want to quit drinking, take a break from alcohol, build more sober days, or make alcohol-free life feel more rewarding. It is for the person who does not want their sober app to feel like a punishment. It is for the person who wants tracking, structure, privacy and a stronger sense of identity. It is for the person who wants to become someone else, quietly, elegantly, one day at a time. A NOTE ON SAFETY Altered is not a medical device and does not provide diagnosis, emergency support, or clinical treatment. Start your next Chapter in the House of Altered.
