In this article, we’re going to look at the top 5 alcohol addiction recovery apps available on Google Playstore. We’re going to discuss their features, their pros and cons, and I’ll also reveal what’s my favorite app to quit alcohol.

Addiction can ruin someone’s life. Alcohol addiction in particular is deadly. Thousands of people all across the globe lose their lives every year due to alcohol addiction.

Using an app to quit alcohol is like having an accountability partner. It’ll take care of your streaks and provide you all the tools in order to quit alcohol.

1. Sobriety Counter- Stop Drinking (Easy Quit)

Sobriety Counter- Stop Drinking(EasyQuit)

This app shows you the time you’ve been sober (abstinence time), the time and money you’ve saved by giving up alcohol. You will need to input the cost of 1 bottle of alcohol, how many bottles do you consume daily/weekly, how much time do you spend daily/weekly on drinking. Based on these stats, it shows you how much money and time you’ve saved by giving up alcohol, which further motivates you to stay away from alcohol.

While quitting any addiction, you’ll get a lot of urges to get back to your old habits. It’s important that you resist those urges. This app has “Beat an Urge” feature which lets you play a game to beat your urges. The goal with the game is to keep you busy, so your mind doesn’t give in to the urges. Urges are only temporary, so if you can resist urges for sometimes, they’ll go away.

This app also has a “Drinks Passed” option in which you can input how many drinks were offered to you, but you refused. By looking at the no. of times you’ve refused drinks, you’ll feel motivated to keep refusing drinks.

We all know that alcohol takes away years from your life, and giving up alcohol can increase your lifespan. This app shows you how much lifetime you’ve regained by quitting alcohol, which in my opinion, is the biggest motivator to stay away from alcohol.

This app also gives you badges according to your sobriety streak. Those badges also act as a motivator to stay away from alcohol.

It also has “Quit Slowly” feature, which is beneficial if you don’t want to quit cold-turkey and want to reduce your alcohol intake gradually. You can set your goal for weekly drinks and make sure you don’t exceed the goal set by you. Every time you drink and input that in the app, this tool shows you how closer you are from your weekly drinking goal.

This app also allows you to track and eliminate your triggers/cravings. You can set your triggers and work on eliminating those triggers.

The biggest feature in this app is that there is a community of recovering addicts, which other apps don’t have. In the “community” section, anyone can go and post their struggles and achievements. The community there is very engaging, and you can post your struggles and receive advice from other people who are also on the same path as you.

If you have any question about quitting alcohol, just post it in the community and many people will gladly help you. This makes you feel that other people are rooting for you, and it makes your recovery a bit easier.
