About BetterStep: Addiction Recovery
Whatever you're trying to quit, drinking, drugs, nicotine, gambling, BetterStep helps you put one day behind you, and then the next. It was built with the treatment centers that do this every day, so the tools inside are the same ones their patients use. The only difference is you carry them in your pocket now. See where you stand Your day count, your streak, how your sleep and recovery are trending. It's all on one screen, and the number of days is always one tap away. Get through the craving Cravings don't last, but in the moment they feel like they will. When one hits, open Craving SOS: a short guided audio that talks you through it instead of leaving you to white-knuckle it alone. Breathing exercises and calming sounds are there for the rest of the day too. Check in with your body Rest your finger on the camera and BetterStep reads your heart rate and heart rate variability. Connect the BetterStep Strap or Apple Health and it also follows your sleep, recovery and activity, so you can watch your body settle as you heal. An assistant that actually pays attention The AI assistant looks at your real day, your sleep, your mood, your check-ins, and gives you plain, practical advice. It notices the moments that catch you off guard, like the hour you'd normally give in. Something to keep you going Build streaks, earn BetterCoins for every task you finish, climb the leaderboard next to people doing the same hard thing, and spend what you've earned on rewards from partner brands. It's a lot easier when you're not doing it alone. Small things, every day A quick morning check-in, short daily tasks, guided meditations, a sound mixer for the hard hours, online meetings and podcasts, and a home screen widget that keeps your streak in sight. Recovery isn't a straight line, and BetterStep won't pretend otherwise. It just helps you take the next step, and then the one after that. BetterStep is for adults 18 and over. It supports treatment; it does not replace it. Available in English, Georgian and Russian.
