Hey HN - I built Stopping ( to help people quit drinking with the support of a small group (your "cohort"). It's free[5] to participate and there's no app to download. All communication is anonymous and done through SMS[1]. I finally stopped drinking after many failed attempts and having the support of a group that was going thru it with me was critical.Problem:Giving up alcohol is really f*ing hard.In the US, 15M people have Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). Only 7% get any form of treatment and most programs are ineffective (AA's success rate is Abusing alcohol has wide ranging effects from financial costs to reduced confidence, to health risks. Many people don't think of alcohol in these blunt terms because of how common and accepted drinking is, but alcohol can ruin your life and kill you.Solution:1. Quit with a cohort - Stopping places you in a group of people quitting with you at the same time. You can safely share struggles and triumphs. It might not sound like a lot, but just telling someone else you have an urge to drink can make all the difference.2. Guidance - Concrete actions to improve your odds of quitting and make it easier on you.For example, many people find drinking seltzer and fasting reduce urges.Another step is prescribing medication. Less than 4 percent of people with AUD are prescribed a medication[7] but there's solid evidence[8] these drugs can help.3. SMS based - No new app to check. It's easy to access and anonymous.This app might seem like too little to make a difference, but this is a first step.I want to destroy AUD and I'm obsessed with the problem, not the solution. If you have feedback on how to make Stopping more effective, I'd love to hear from you.Feel free to to drop me a note at mike@stopping.app.
