Reframe: Drink Less & Thrive Reviews

by Travelingfiend

I was so doubtful when I downloaded this and really didn’t think I would benefit from it. But their first statement upfront is that if you don’t believe it can work, it won’t work for you. It’s a mindset. And I can tell you from buying the one year subscription 7 days ago, I already got my money’s worth. I was just trying to reduce my drinking and I haven’t had a drink in seven days. It’s because they teach so much about the impact on your brain and your organs in your body. It’s not about willpower or self-control. It’s about deciding to prioritize your health and well-being, your motivation and your ability to do more during the day. There’s no doomsday scare tactics, no shame, no judgment.

All of the content is so well put together and it varies every day and it’s customized to your personal goals. And they ask all of the right questions and give inspiration and challenges each morning.

I really find myself motivated by the community. Normally, I avoid forums and communities related to health care skin care because it’s a lot of the repeat. But this group is so inspiring and real, non-judgmental and in the fire with you. Thank you so much!

I read about the this app app in an article about ways to quit or cut back on alcohol use. I downloaded Reframe and purchased the annual subscription. It’s been close to two weeks since that purchase and I'm so glad I did! I have experienced immediate benefits as a result of the this app app, specifically results that have improved my mental, physical, and emotional health. This has been accomplished through the incredibly supportive way Reframe educates you about then affects of alcohol and the supportive exercises this app offers to strengthen your resolve. This is done through goal setting, inspirational motivations, science-based articles, and positive affirmations. What I appreciate most is that it’s all done without being preachy. Thanks to the team at this app, I’m getting better and stronger every day.

this app is medical science, redesigned in terms that non-scientists can understand. I highly recommend this app for those of us who desire to refocus the role alcohol has in our lives and desire to regain control of our alcohol use. In just three weeks this app has helped me immensely. Moreover, this app is packaged in such a way that I look forward to my this app daily lessons. These lessons are neither time consuming nor burdensome.

I also recommend this app for those who wish to build their skill set as they desire to help and understand a loved one who has or is slipping song their path of alcohol consumption and/or recovery.

Simply stated, in an educational and pleasant manner this app has motivated me to drink less and restored my sense of self control.

I wanted to cut back my alcohol intake and my relationship with it. There are many negative reasons to make a change so I thought I’d try it, not knowing where this app would take me. I am 45 days into doing the Daily take which only takes 3-10 minutes and I cannot believe the progress I have made and how fantastic I feel. I have learned so much about how alcohol damages your body. This was a big wake up call. I learned why I drank. This was very enlightening. I learned different methods to coping with the reasons - including stress relievers, boundaries, reaction techniques, etc. I have reduced my alcohol intake 93% over the last 6 weeks. My average is two drinks per week vs 15-28. And I am good with it. Thanks this app.

Eight days ago I was hopeless and thinking of ways to end my life! I recently walked away from a career making a very healthy six figure salary. I just felt my brain was so fried I could no longer be a leader, a good husband or father. I had downloaded the this app app four days prior. I don’t even remember where I found it? However, I followed it everyday and although the information was spot on I was still having an occasional drink just about all four of those days. I was still in a very bad place. The suicidal thoughts became stronger and stronger until I completely broke down in front of my wife crying, shaking and telling her I no longer wanted to live anymore! We talked for over an hour while I was completely exhausted she watched me fall asleep, keeping her eyes on me all night long. I woke up the next day and said to myself I’m going to take Reframe this app more seriously. Although the last eight days didn’t come with its struggles I have remained alcohol free consistently following this app. I am finally starting to understand how it is really helping me! I know I have a L O N G way to go but I’m now feeling some hope for my future! THANK YOU DEVELOPERS OF this app!!!!❤️

by Williamsce

I absolutely love this app! I was ready to reduce my alcohol intake and tried this app as well as another service to help me on my journey. With my positive mindset, willpower, and this app, I’ve successfully reduced my alcohol intake within 10 days! I’ve also had two alcohol free days so far! Oh, did I mention I cancelled the other service?! this app not only allows me to track my drinks, but also provides educational materials, reflection exercises, and a tool kit with meditations, EFT, and a craving count down. The educational materials are what sold me! Knowing how alcohol affects my mind and body has helped me to stay the course. I have completed the activities daily! I have a year long subscription and look forward to my continual progress! Thank you, this app!

I decided to stop drinking because ofA routine blood test that showed elevated liver enzymes. I waited six weeks and they kept going up. I received further testing and nothing else is going on. I decided to stop alcohol for a while. I was a two glass a day of wine drinker and binge drank on social occasions. Anyway I am on day 17 and have been using Reframe. It is very informative and useful and a great daily check-in/reminder to help on this path. I would definitely recommend it and will continue using it for now. I quit smoking a year and a half ago and I know a lot of the strategies are the same. However I have been learning a lot more about alcohol use with Reframe. I have been feeling pretty amazing since stopping, even though it’s only been two weeks

by Jackalack22

I was a little skeptical about Reframe when I first saw it. But I began to read through some of the Information in Reframe and became very intrigued. I got Reframe and use it every day. The information is so concise ,thorough and has been very enlightening to me. The information really makes you Aware of what alcohol really is and how it affects you in so many ways. I’ve made other attempts to stop drinking but they did not Impact me the way that Reframe has. I know different things work for different people, but this has definitely helped me and I would recommend it. One other thing, if you’re serious about trying to cut back or stop drinking don’t be discouraged by some of the comments that you will see. this app is the real deal!

by Addictive In A Good Way

this app is the best thing I have ever done for myself and frankly it was just serendipity. I was chilling on a random Sunday night not feeling too great from all the drinking on Friday and Saturday. Nothing dramatic just more than what I wanted to and not for the first time. An ad came up while I was scrolling and it was talking about how your liver will process alcohol and then not be available to process the food that you eat. Since the pandemic I’d been having at least one drink while making dinner so that’s made a lot of sense to me why I wasn’t looking great even though I was eating good and exercising.

So I joined because of my liver and it ended up changing my life. I have learned so much and it isn’t all about 100 percent quitting or white knuckling. I truly helped me recondition my mind.

I also love my people in the Forum! Everyone is so supportive no matter where you are in the journey.

Don’t expend energy overthinking this. I’ve drank for 40 years and just went dry for Lent. It was way easier than even trying to go Monday through Thursday prior to Reframe . Just make the commitment do get Reframe and read the lessons every morning and log your drinks then see what happens

by Mdtship

I’m 40 days in drink free with one of the many times I’ve tried to stop drinking alcohol. What I like about this app is that it makes me focus everyday on stopping and brings in Health issues and neuroscience. While I’m pretty aware of these issues, in the past I used to eventually find a way to ignore them (like, “My brain’s recovered now, no reason I can’t have a drink. Then that one drink would lead into another two years of after work drinking). With a daily dose of reminders I have not yet rationalized myself into drinking. The journaling aspect is good. I’ve been meaning to journal on my own, but have never gotten to it. There’s plenty of support in Reframe as well. People you can contact, social media and classes. A complete and well done app. If it saves your life, it’s priceless, just like you!

I would not have considered myself a problematic drinker or alcoholic, but I was concerned with the frequency I was having wine in the evenings. Reframe is full of science-based tools to reduce or stop drinking. I love the daily tasks because they are interesting and take so little time. I also like the craving tools when one hits. I would definitely recommend Reframe for people who are questioning their relationship with alcohol and want to cut back. I’ve reduced my intake since starting and I truly believe I’ll get down to my target number of drinks in the next month or so. It’s not easy to stop a bad habit, but as you’ll be reminded in Reframe, you can do hard things.

by JessMarie_90

This is only my first week using this app but I’m definitely going to continue to use it after the free trial. I have tried (and failed) year after year to go a whole month without drinking but this year I really feel hopeful. They have many resources that help users understand addiction and how alcohol affects the brain and body. There are tasks to complete each day that are informative and useful. I look forward to using Reframe everyday and I love the journal entries. I am able to get to the core reason of why I drink and I’m able to view my alcoholism in a new and enlightened way. I’m excited to continue dry January (maybe longer) with Reframe as my guide! Highly recommend if you’d like to stop or even just cut back on drinking. It’s so worth it, your body and mind will thank you

by Alicat1975

I am so grateful I stumbled upon this app!! I’ve tried many ways to slow my drinking and my goal is to be alcohol free!! Reframe is awesome there is support 24/7 there are great motivational tips and reads, journaling and ways to connect with others feeling the same way you do and going through situations and life experience much like me and will chat with you and encourage you along the way. I am a private person with extreme anxiety so being face to face with others in group settings was just not working for me this gives me the comfort of my own home, my time and my terms it has helped me be brutally honest with myself! My advice if your feeling alone, and like you’ve tried everything else don’t give up keep searching dive into this app there is so much help and resources at what ever stage your are there is help!!

by Sophhhh666

Ok I’m not even kidding, I’m a total nerd for productivity and habit-change. I’ve read all the self help books out there. But alcohol is the one issue that I wasn’t able to get rid of.

Since downloading this app, I’ve learned SOOO much more about mental health, habits, and why I wasn’t able to remove alcohol from my life. This is honestly life-changing. I keep learning something new everyday, and I don’t think I will ever stop learning with this app. I also love their meditations. Whenever I feel stuck, or am down, the meditations genuinely help me get back on track. I also really love the journals - they actually really make me think more about myself and my way of life, and what needs changing.

The this app team is also really passionate about the product and is genuinely very caring about their users. I’ve had issues with Reframe and they got back to me immediately.

by Sonrietyheals

I can not give Reframe enough kudos. Reframe itself is amazing between all the helpful science based info, variety of coping skills and different types of support (both written on the forum and live on the community meetings). I feel like something greater than myself… part of a community that has ridden the same struggle bus. The customer support is on point. Kayla and crew get right back to you…showing up when you need them. They ask for, listen to and follow through/ try their best to follow through on member suggestions. If you have been feeling like your alcohol use is a bit out of hand or completely taken over your life, try this. Even paying for it, what do you have to lose? I know I blew so much money on alcohol that gave me so many losses 🙈. At least this is a shot at some gains!!! Ty Kayla and this app community 💗🙏

by D0pedupd0lly

Reframe has changed my life, honestly. Paired with a strong support network, Reframe has been the only thing that has made a difference. I have tried and failed to quit drinking more times than I can count and never got past 10 days. Today I am 24 days sober with forever to go. The neuroscience approach made a massive difference vs more spiritual or 12 step programs. They both have merits but this one has managed to shift the way my brain thinks and blames myself for how Ive gotten. It is a subscription service but it is 100% worth it for all of the features that come with it. I look forward to completing my tasks and and it is an irrevocable part of my morning routine. It is there for me when I have cravings, when I want a meditation, when I need a distraction, and there is even a social component that is really nice to have in my back pocket. I tell everyone I meet about Reframe. Best investment I’ve ever made into myself.

by Halehelene

I’m not going to lie; I downloaded Reframe and waited probably two weeks before I even opened it and created a profile, and it probably took me another week and a half two weeks even to start using it. Definitely a slow go at first, but the more I used it, the more interested I was to use it. You learn so much about how your body and brain function and your own motivations to drink. Thankfully there’s not long journal that you have to do which is super helpful for me; I am not into the whole sit for an hour & pull out your childhood traumas kind of person. I love the Ted talks and all of the video information and little articles that they have that you can read. The mediations are great & inspiring as well. I like to listen to these in the am before / while getting ready for work. 100% recommend; this is a great way to analyze your relationship with alcohol & if you need more help or not. ✌🏼

I have been using this “app” for 2 months now. First this is more than just an app. There are community meetings that members get access to. It’s very hard to change drinking behavior without some personal support. There are various levels available of that available here.

The founders of Reframe have very deep experience in alcohol addiction and general wellness practices. I’ve done my share of therapists and personal growth work in the past and yet I am still learning a lot here. Reframe packs a lot into it. From daily readings that build on each other, to an online forum where you can post and get feedback or give encouragement to fellow members, to various challenges, to exercises and practices to get you through cravings, etc. I have only listed the main stuff. I still haven’t gone through half of it. The available material grows every week. What I am learning and getting support here is helping me in work and in relationships and in many aspects of my life beyond drinking.

by Regnillo6

I was a daily drinker for 20+ years. I have tried to quit before and couldn’t do it. The combination of warnings from my doctor and using the this app app finally worked. this app worked for me because it logically and simply laid out the harm that I was doing to my brain, my heart, my health, my skin, etc. by drinking so much. That, combined with daily check-ins, educational and motivational topics, plus the this app Community. I can’t say enough about how helpful the this app community is. In the beginning, I sought reassurance, but after a month or so, found myself giving reassurance and advice. It was incredibly empowering. I would read and respond to posts for up to an hour each night. I love the anonymity of it! Those still suffering through the early days of not drinking reinforced my decision not to drink. Those who have been sober for a while inspired me. I’m so glad I found Reframe! I now have more energy and more confidence. I’ve lost weight, my skin looks better and my blood pressure is down.

by DenverbroncosPmac

By my very nature, I tend to be a “go it alone”kinda guy. At 47 years old, that has worked great in some areas and been disastrous in others. I’m successful and well educated, and so I assumed I would be able to control alcohol on my own. I’m a doc. I know all the negative effects it has on my health. I have a family and I see the effects it has on them. I know how I feel after I’ve been drinking. That argh!!! I did it again feeling. Reframe has been a true life safer! I downloaded it at a low point when I was desperate for something. Anything. I’ve prayed till I was in tears that I could get my act together, and while I thought that would come by God giving me a miraculous desire to not want to drink, he didn’t. What he did give me was an iPhone. And an App Store. And an app named this app. Turns out that In my case, God wanted to use an app to help me do the work of getting my life under control. Turns out, God does work in ways that are not always of our understanding. I’ll be praying that someone might read this and that you will find it helpful in your journey. You got this!!! LETS GO!!!!

by Courta143

Just got Reframe and I like the tools, but the interface is obviously made for phones with larger screens so a lot of the Continue buttons in the start up cut off the bottom options. You can’t scroll down on some screens so I had to end Reframe if a pop up window’s close button is at the bottom of the screen and therefore cut off so I can’t close the window. Makes it really frustrating to use Reframe .

by Jokermann

I really do like Reframe. It’s really intelligent with updated information. The daily action items are helpful. I like that there isn’t a push to use the term ‘recovery’. It has really helped me this app my views of alcohol and my use. Annoyances.... I have to log out once or twice a day to get it to update and to get it on the correct day of the week. And it won’t let my phone remember the login. Minor issues though.

by Mcknzlrk

I wish there were more words in my vocabulary to describe how much Reframe has helped me. It’s not only Reframe , actually, but the community it has that is filled with others who are going through what you are- and truly give nothing but advice or encouragement. The creators and contributors to Reframe are incredibly caring, listen to feedback, and are actually available to do so.

Reframe is worth every penny, especially since my 12 pack (nearly per day) cost more than the subscription.

There is a free trial, just try it.

by Reddddddd111111

The daily tasks in Reframe are absolutely amazing how well they help start out my day! They provide amazing scientific information and great insight into addiction and how alcohol effects us. This reinforcement is so helpful to have in my pocket.

It’s also great to have the craving tool with me wherever I go and that has helped me get through several urges I’ve had by using the meditation tools provided (and the games!!).

I can’t recommend this tool enough for anyone looking to take a break from alcohol or has taken an extended break already (I’m 18 months alcohol free and use it every day).

by Alex KC

I’ve been in recovery for over 3 years but I’m always on the lookout for new tools to add to my sobriety toolbox. So far, digital sponsor has been an awesome addition. Compared to other addiction recovery apps I’ve used, Digital Sponsor is way more comprehensive and has a ton of sobriety tools I didn’t even know I needed! I really love the set up and how it is task-driven on a daily basis. Makes the whole “one day at a time” thing ring even more true. Highly suggest for anybody who wants to up their recovery game or is just looking for a great new tool to add to compliment their sober lifestyle

by Staay

I wasn’t sure what to expect from The this app App. I saw it promoted by previous people on IG so I decided to try the 7 day free trial. So far I absolutely love it! The daily prompts help me journal and focus my thoughts and my “Why”. There is a place to chat with others, there are places to go to help you get through cravings or triggers, I love so many things about it! Reframe is SO well thought out. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to either cut back on drinking or quit completely. Thank you so much this app! I am feeling so much more confident in my pursuit of sobriety.

by Alelí82

Reframe is incredible. It uses evidence based practices and includes personal experiences to help build a model for alcohol use disorders that actually works. I learn something new daily and there are a myriad other tools that aid in my ability to cease alcohol consumption completely. At this app they don’t advocate or enforce abstinence only and (for some reason) this has helped me completely abstain! From meditations, breathing exercises, therapy, games, to classes Reframe is the only one I need on my road to healing from alcohol use spectrum disorder. I am so grateful.

by Imosbcster

It feels like Reframe was my other leg in walking to being alcohol free. After decades of using alcohol to medicate myself (4 drinks/day, every day for the last year has been my peak). I cannot believe that I’m now dealing with life without alcohol.

Reframe, in my opinion, is an interactive guide with an enormous toolbox. It’s guide and most tools are based on science, not religion (meaning it’s not like AA in this area). You learn the how and why of addiction and alcohol so that you understand what’s happening in your brain, emotions, and body. This was key in creating actual change in thought processes that lead to my drinking.

Reframe is empowering. I can take what I’ve learned here and translate it into changing virtually any habit I don’t like.

Best app I’ve ever purchased. No question.

by ElkHC

Reframe has more tools than others I have tried. The Daily tasks and guidance are scientifically explained and easy to understand and help you through your path of moderating or abstaining from alcohol. As a huge bonus there is a live forum and online meetings that give you the convenience of the ability to attend from your phone or be completely anonymous. If you are sober curious I highly recommend Reframe. It is fantastic!

by Bella Novelli

this app App has been an essential & exciting part of my alcohol-free journey. Reframe is beneficial for everyone, no matter where you are at on your journey. You can be sober, sober curious, just be cutting back or even just inquiring. Reframe can help you build healthier drinking habits with tools like the daily prompts, community forum, tool kit, Thrive Coach AND you can track your alcohol-free days & set daily goals.

by ElleCee8

I binge downloaded several stop drinking apps. Most seemed helpful. This one blows the others out of the water! The forum alone is active and supportive. You scroll your social media accounts already, why not scroll this? Holistically minded, practical, neuroscience, personalized goals, it’s got it ALL! Yeah you gotta pay a little, but what else you gonna use your drinking money on? The beautiful irony!

by DJAmandaPanda

I’ve been working on creating a healthier relationship with alcohol for a longgg time. I’ve tried a ton of different tools, methods and techniques and this app has managed to perfectly package all of them (plus a ton more) into one fantastic app. It’s interactive, educational, functional and offers access to a supportive community. Whether you’re trying to quit or moderate, I highly recommend this app!!

by Bieberlovermo4

Reframe has been a tremendous help to me in my journey to quit drinking. It helps keep me accountable, motivated, and feel supported. I love the inspiring daily readings as well as talking with people in the forum. It helps me feel not-so-alone in my journey. I’ve even gotten my friends to use it who don’t necessarily want to quit drinking entirely-but they want to drink less. Download Reframe, you won’t regret it! It’s so helpful :)

by Soberhippy

Reframe provides motivation to stay sober on multiple levels. I love the daily readings and tasks that give me an education on alcohol and how I relate to it. Even after going through AA, an outpatient program, and individual therapy, I am still finding new information and new understanding on why certain CBT tasks are beneficial. The readings and tasks are locked until you complete days so it’s always a new surprise to see what to focus on. I also like that the coping strategies are all in one place and that there is the ability to connect to a community.
