Ever since I have used the WEconnect app, I have been able to make and keep doctors appointments. Accept invites to gatherings and functions I otherwise wouldn’t have gone to. I would have not made appointments, or called and canceled the ones I made. I never would have gone to any kind of function. I used to only go to the grocery store and to pick up my medication when absolutely necessary. I stayed at home all the time. I rarely got dressed. I wouldn’t take a shower but maybe every three days because I figured I didn’t do anything, why should I. I’m taking a shower every other day at least now. I can’t wash my own hair because of arthritis in my shoulder so I go to the hairdresser. I rarely did that before. My point is, having a community in the meetings and the “one on one” peer has helped immensely with my self esteem and the support I needed to be able to do the things that I needed to accomplish everyday, every week and month even. They say one day at a time, but I’m able to now make plans for the future and it feels great. I also know that WEconnect is there if I have a bad day and I need to talk. That means a great deal. I hope it will always be around and I’m able to utilize the app. Thank you WEconnect for all your support and all you are doing.

I love the app and all the features. The meetings are a great alternative, or addition to, 12-step meetings and I love that there are a variety of topics covered. The incentive program is very generous and motivates me to stay connected and on top of my self care and other obligations. There are a few things I would like to see added. I wish it could be integrated with my phones calendar so that things I add in the app would show in my calendar and/or that things I add to my calendar could be pulled into the app with an option to add it to my daily routine. That way I’m not having to add appointments in two places. That gets redundant and I tend to start slacking when I feel that way. Either that or a widget for the WeConnect app that I could add to my Home Screen to see the items I need to complete in the day and could easily check them off. I’m not sure if that would be possible but it would make the app so much more accessible and easy to manage. I also wish the notifications were more specific. Instead of “your routine is about to start” I wish it would say, for example, “your individual counseling session is about to start”. When I get vague notifications that all say the same thing I tend to ignore them. Also, I don’t open the app every time I complete something and it is frustrating when I go on later in the day and am not able to check an item off because I’m not at home so the location is wrong. Those are just some suggestions I have but overall my experience has been good and I really enjoy using this app!

I definitely think the app is a great idea n actually gave me more incentive to stay clean but than I recently had lost my insurance cuz of a mix up thru the Medicaid system, so I go to get on my app n ask if there’s anything I can do or if there was any help for ppl without insurance until I figured out what else I was gonna do, but I couldn’t get on my app cuz as soon as they found out I had no insurance my account was deactivated by them, I couldn’t believe that happened cuz I thought it was legit n they actually cared about me but thankfully I stayed clean and now I’m gonna be back to where I was, so I’m glad I was strong enough to stay clean and didn’t need y’all to help me thru it cuz u dumped me as quick as I lost my insurance

Helps you stay motivated to stay on tasks and keeping yourself busy so you don’t relapse. You have tons of support. You make your own daily tasks that keep it up daily and don’t fall behind and you get rewarded for it which gives you even more of a reason to stay on track cause you don’t only benefit from making yourself happy and being proud of yourself you make your family proud of you also and you get a reward also. It gets you into a stable routine nothing is more satisfying than making yourself proud and your family too. Which is very important to me idk about other people.
