Many people find they're spending more on drinking than they want to, or gaining weight because of drinking too much. Others don't like that they've started to rely on drinking to feel happy.

It's an easy habit to fall into, and it can be hard to get out of it alone.

That's where Drinker's Helper comes in. 

Drinker’s Helper helps you stop drinking or cut back on drinking with a combination of tracking, insights into your drinking, support groups, and motivational exercises.

“Using motivational exercises is just one of the ways that Drinker’s Helper benefits its users and their no-drinking journey. It also allows users to collate their best strategies for staying on task, and in contrast, their biggest triggers. It’s available on all devices.“

“With Drinker’s Helper, you can see which strategies have been working in your community, learn from others’ success, and gain insight into your drinking habits. Whether you want to teach yourself moderation or quit entirely, this sobriety app can help you dive deep and learn the skills you need to reach your goals.”

“Drinker’s Helper uses a multi-pronged approach, starting with a quiz to see how much your drinking compares to “normal” rates. Then monitor and track your sobriety, and set further goals. You can also access additional insights and stats on what triggers your drinking. One unique feature of the app is that you’re matched to a group of 20 to 30 other people with similar drinking habits in a mutual support chat.”

“Perhaps the most innovative feature of Drinker's Helper is the chat-based skill-building exercises. Users can interact with a chatbot that guides them through difficult situations, offering in-the-moment tips and tricks. And if the chatbot isn't enough, the app connects users with a personalized virtual support group with members pre-selected based on their common drinking habits.”

“If you prefer to get tech-y, Drinker’s Helper is a downloadable app that helps you set limits, find patterns, and make a plan to keep your drinking in check…. It matches you to a group of people in the same situation so that you can get support, and it also provides mental exercises that help develop a mindset to help you quit or cut back.”

“Aimed at helping you either scale back or curb your alcohol intake altogether, Drinker's Helper draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques along with other tried-and-true methods for limiting dependencies and tampering addictive tendencies. The developers seem to really listen to user feedback, issuing regular updates that often accommodate complaints and enhancement requests.”

“This app assists you to reduce your alcohol intake. It borrows from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy skills to restrict your dependencies and addictive tendencies for your drink. You can expect regular updates that will cater to your complaints and enhancement wishes. A simple test will break down your drinking patterns and allow you to know how much it varies from what is the ideal standard.”

“There is the option to join a personalized support group. The advantage of this is getting encouragement from other people with similar drinking habits. You can also get insights from others on the strategies they use. For these reasons, we rate Drinker’s Helper as one of the [9 most] useful apps for alcohol use disorder.”

“Beyond AA, there are other apps that can offer peer support to help people quit alcohol. Drinker's Helper is an app that helps users set a drinking goal or sets a sobriety counter to track your sober streak. The app includes exercises to help users to resist alcohol and build motivation to make changes.”

“Experts say reviews that let you see what works for other people are one of the best ways to select a quality drinking reduction or cessation app….Some highly rated ones, according to app store reviews, are Drink Control, Drinker’s Helper, DrinkCoach+, and Less…..Most important is whether the app explicitly contains references to evidence-backed behavior change methods, something that Less, Drinker’s Helper, and Alcohol Change UK’s app, Try Dry, do in their app store and website descriptions.”
