Sober Sidekick is a relatively new app and social media platform that is designed to help recovering addicts connect to an empathetic, supportive community any time of day or night.
Because it’s so new, people naturally have questions. That’s why we’re answering these 5 FAQs about Sober Sidekick.
What Exactly is Sober Sidekick?
Sober Sidekick is an app and social media platform with over 150,000 community members who are recovering addicts. It’s designed to help you make empathetic, compassionate connections when you need them the most.
There are several helpful features, and the great part is that the more connections you make, the more motivation you receive for staying sober. We believe that addiction thrives in isolation. Addicts don’t die because they love drugs or alcohol so much; they die because they think they’re alone. You are not alone, and Sober Sidekick is designed to help you stay connected to a judgment-free community of people who know what you’re going through.
How Does It Work?
It’s really easy to use Sober Sidekick. You simply download the app and start making the connections you need. The platform preserves your anonymity, and it offers several features for making sure you can get the help you need.
There is a sobriety counter to help you track your recovery, you can join a virtual AA meeting 24/7, you can give and receive support when you need it most, find accountability partners, and you can even chat with a professional anytime you need to do so. You also get daily motivations, and the more connections you make, the more daily motivations you receive.
How Much Does it Cost?
This is one of the best things about Sober Sidekick – it’s absolutely free to users! Our motto is “I (Ego) can’t stay sober; We can stay sober.” That’s why we are highly motivated to provide a platform for recovery that really works.
The people who make up the Sober Sidekick community have been through exactly what you’re going through, and they can help you when you’re feeling weak. Then you can return the favor to other community members. It’s a gratitude-based, free app and social media platform where you can feel at home.
Can You Really Get Connected Anytime?
The answer is yes! You can connect to a virtual AA meeting 24/7 for support, you can reach out to other community members or message your accountability partner. You can also reach out to a professional to chat if you feel you need to do so.
That means you can find the support you need any time of the day or night. There’s always someone waiting to help you through the rough times.
What’s the Sober Sidekick Story?
The Sober Sidekick story begins with Chris Thompson, who is also a recovering addict. He created the Sober Sidekick app because he made all the same mistakes you’ve likely made on your sobriety journey.
Knowing what it’s like to feel alone and broken, he created the app and founded Sober Sidekick with Jake Foerster and Chris Aburime. Together they founded a community of people who are on the road to recovery and who can help you get there too!
