COVID lockdown left me negative and drinking every day

I managed to go from drinking normally to drinking daily during the COVID lockdown, and I was looking for something to help me get back on track with my health. I was also emotionally low, and feeling pretty negative about everything: humanity, work, any type of plans for the future. I needed a reset, and this app has been so helpful with that. I like that I can see how many days I haven’t drank, and how much money I’ve saved by not drinking. I wasn’t sure I’d need the daily message, but it has really helped me change my perspective on the things I have in my life that are actually positive and going well. I also appreciate having the messages available on demand and have been making it a point to read one whenever I feel annoyed or frustrated about things beyond my control. I highly recommend for anyone, whether you’re in recovery or simply in need of something to put your mind in a better place.

Awesome! Help when you need it.

I highly recommend this app. It allows me to set the exact time I receive the daily message which is usually exactly what I need to hear to start my day. Then I check the Reward I have earned and it not only shows me the time I have been sober, the money I have saved, but also gives me an encouraging message. I then go to the Forum where I already have friends with whom I can get support and who I can share my deepest secrets. Best of all, I turn to this app whenever I get a craving to relapse and it gives me straight forward questions to help me deal with what’s wrong. Easy to navigate and fun to use, this app is essential to my recovery.

Helpful Beginning Everyday

I started using this app about seven years ago as an aid to helping me get sober. First, I tried quitting drinking myself for the first two years. Needless to say, I didn’t succeed with much success. The app itself kept me inspired to keep moving forward. I entered treatment 5 years ago and finally achieved success -5 years and counting. Each day I begin with affirmations from this app. It plays a small part of reminding me about being grateful and never forgetting that sobriety is a key to my success.

Well made app, but...

Completely dogmatic twelve step zombie BS. If AA works for you, that’s all well & good, but it’s far from the absolute truth about substance use/addiction/recovery. There are other ways to overcome your dependencies, to stay free of them, to live a full & happy life without them. And yes, there are ways to use drugs or alcohol recreationally that don’t ruin your life in the first place. Pseudo-psychological propaganda like this only serves to further outdated & inaccurate stereotypes and hurt people, individually & as a collective culture; the cumulative subliminal damage religion-based programs like AA inflict far outstrips the amount it improves upon (Which isn’t much; AA & NA success rates match the amount of addicts that surmount their struggles on their own, 5-10% yearly).

2+ years sober

I have been battling alcohol addiction for most my life, and I decided enough was enough. Sober Tool helped me more then once. When I felt like I was going to relapse it was good to know I had Sober Tool to fall back on. I really liked how it keeps track of the days you have been sober, and the money you saved by not drinking. The medals you earn are pretty cool too! I never thought I would say that I have been sober for 2+ years! Thanks Sober Tool!!!

Awesome App!

I love everything about this app. It’s helped me so many times to calm down and get my mind straight. It reminds me of what’s important. I really love the day tracker that shows you how much money you’re saving. That’s really helped me to stay on track. I suggest this app to any and everyone trying to stay clean and sober. Thank you.

Helpful App!

I am pleased with SoberTool. It has all the features I need at this time; day counter, thoughtful messages, and features that I don’t use (financial) The meeting finder doesn’t seem to lock into my iPhone GPS. Although that’s not a huge deal. I do have issues getting the morning message from time to time. They “appear” and then disappear and I can’t retrieve them I also wish the day counter flipped at midnight local time. Mine seems to advance around 9:30 am. Again no big deal

Another great tool for the recovery toolbox

I have used this app for a while now and love the daily reading. It has often been eerily exactly what I needed at the time. Can we get even more readings added to an update? The only other options I could see would be: AA book, NA book, SMART recovery material, Refuge Recovery material or at least the links to find them. Great job and thanks for the app.

New version wiped my data

Garbage app avoided at all costs Response to developer: you lost my sober date you incompetent buffoon! Your incompetence cost me something incredibly important to myself, my family and my future. I had my sober date backed up in this app and this app gets backed up in the cloud. When the developers so incompetent they lose peoples data that makes it a garbage app and it makes the developer garbage human being! You have peoples lives in your hands you fool.

Help at my fingertips

This app helps my recovery every time I open it. I particularly like the Random Message section. It’s almost always exactly what I need to hear. Download this app now… it might save your life.

Awesome App to help keep yo on track

I have been using this app for 3 years. The dollar savings feature is a real eye opener!! The forum also a great addition to the app. The fact that key soberversaries are recognized is a great motivator. Kudos to the developers for a great app that helps those in recovery!!! 👍

Good messages if you're struggling 😊

The meeting finder does not correspond with my location (different state) other than that this is a great app for positive thinking and answering the questions that we find ourselves asking. Random messages each day with good advice. I have recommended it to 4 other recovering alcoholics.

SoberTool Rating

I got sober in 2015, and 31/2 years later, I still give it a great deal of credit for helping me maintain my sobriety. One wrong decision could take so much away. My late girlfriend urged me toward getting sober, and I’d like to think if she could see me, that she’d be proud. Thanks, SoberTool!

Inspirational Sobriety Assistant

The fact that this app is FREE, & offers the amount of things that it does gives me hope for the recovery community to continue along the path of above everything striving to help everyone who seeks it 😁

Unable to purchase

I would give the 5* if I was able to purchase the full version. It says it’s not compatible with my iPhone and my phone is up to date.

Awesome

Recommending this app to anyone who wants to be clean and sober. It brilliantly combines goals, positive reinforcement, cognitive behavioral therapy, and spiritual wisdom to change addictive behavior to recovery behavior. This app is always there when you need help. So easy to use. Love the community support in the Forum too.

A must have

This is like a 12 step meeting in your pocket, minus the wasted time listening to the intro. And minus the coffee.

Update is awful

Keep having me reset every time it launches. Lost all my favorites for the daily messages which don’t even show up anymore. It’s too bad, it helped me get sober and relied on it for daily motivation but doesn’t look like that will be the case anymore

full of annoying ads

i thought ok for bit inspiration I can deal with ads, no annoying and loud. When I am sitting in a public place reading on app suddenly boom loud ads you cant close. Get a counter and few motivation stories and quotes, I think it is a teaser to get people to buy their full app.

Great for my recovery

Thank you

Why does it not count days anymore???

Mine suddenly switched from saying 130-something days to 4 months, 14 days.....and I don’t like it. There should at least be an option to switch it back to day counting.

New Change = Horrible

Really enjoyed the app before the recent change - now the focus is not on sobriety but instead generating ad revenues. Really disappointing ...

Update Ruined this App

Doesn’t function, I can’t even enter my correct sobriety date- it switches at random. Very unfortunate.

Keeps referencing AA and God

Not my thing and should be mentioned. Deleting app. Wasted money.
