Reframe: Drink Less & Thrive Ratings and Reviews

I don’t even know where to begin to explain the many ways this app’s content has helped me change my relationship with alcohol and get to a better headspace. Over the years I’ve been through periods of frequent alcohol use, including drinking almost every day to unwind after working 80hr weeks for the last couple years. Since I’m finally done with education/training I don’t have nearly as much stress anymore, and I came to the realization with the help of the app that alcohol doesn’t serve me anymore and my alcohol use was a part of my identity that I didn’t want or need anymore. It’s only been a little over two months but I’ve made a lot of progress and am in the middle of a 30 days sober challenge when I can’t remember the last time I went two weeks straight without drinking. On top of that I went from drinking about 85-95% days of the week to only about 40%, and the quantity is a lot less as well. I have a lot of this journey ahead of me but I know with this app and all the hard work the developers and content contributors put in I can get there. The biggest help of this app is shedding light on why I drink in the first place and building better coping mechanisms and ways of thinking to get through life’s challenges without alcohol. There’s no better gift you can give yourself than becoming the happiest, healthiest, and best version of yourself and this app can help you do that for yourself when you put in the work.

Thank you so much for this beautiful feedback! We are so happy to hear about your progress; you absolutely deserve to feel your happiest and healthiest! 😊

Sounds extreme but it is true. i’m been questioning my relationship with alcohol for many years. I’ve tried many different ways to quit or cut back one lucky day Instagram’s algorithm pushed the Reframe app onto my feed. Reframe offered away to not quit completely, but cut back. This was tempting as I was in 100% sure that I wanted completely. However, I definitely needed to cut back in order to improve my health and my life. It was gonna teach me all about drinking and what it does to my body. It was going to offer me tasks to do every day to keep me accountable. It also has distractions built into the app that will help me when I have cravings… These are all things I learned about it or neon and well worth trying out. What I didn’t know was that the app was gonna bring me a community of people that would help support me through my sobriety journey. has a chat feature built-in that’s available 24 seven where I can connect with people ask questions and get support. There are also daily zoom meetings, where people come to listen connect and share about their sobriety journey. Those meetings have become my livelihood. There are coaches in those meetings that help moderate offer feedback and support. A few short weeks into my cut back journey with alcohol. I decided to switch to quit completely. I’m close to 500 days sober. I have a new lease on life and I have this app to thank for it and his amazing coaches and community.

WOW! 🤗 Congratulations on your hard work -- 500 days of progress is a huge milestone and we are so honored to be a part of your support system on your journey. Thank you for taking the time to put together this feedback for us.

I’ve been using this app for a month now and already noticed better sleep and mood quality within the first two weeks. It isn’t magic. It takes work but the short daily articles and journaling and friendly non-judgmental reminders help tremendously. Whether you’re cutting back or quitting drinking, it is a great tool to give a shot. Do the month trial for $5 if you’re hesitant like I was. It helps so much with approaching your habit from a different perspective. There’s so much mental work that goes into changing habits and this reminds you that you can always switch your approach and always evolve and better yourself with healthy alternatives and healthy mindset. The accountability is a huge factor. Checking in with every drink you might have really sets the tone with a mind and body connection. There is no blindly grabbing a drink and not thinking about it. It makes you evaluate if you really want or need that drink. Seeing how much money and empty calories you save on a daily basis really puts things into perspective. The little tips and insights help a lot and I’ve even used them to help loved ones going thorough hard times of their own. It isn’t about just drinking. It’s about learning healthy behaviors and unlearning old habits and that’s something everyone can take advantage of; not just people looking to quit or cut back on drinking.

We're thrilled to hear about the positive changes you've already experienced in just over a week of using Reframe! Thank you for recommending the trial to others who might be hesitant. It's important to us that everyone feels comfortable and confident in taking that first step with Reframe, and hearing that it has been worth it for you is the best feedback we could ask for.

This app has been incredibly helpful & I’m so glad I found it. I read one of those books a year or two ago to help me stop drinking, and I expected the app to be something like that. The book was helpful and I learned a lot but I think this app did more for me in just a few days, and now I have learned so so much more. I went from 1-2 glasses of wine every single day, for most of the last 8+ years, to 0. And that’s after trying and failing multiple times to stop within the last few years. I have had a couple drinks here and there but haven’t had a real craving for weeks. It’s worth every penny & I recommend it to anyone who listens!

My only complaint is that if you don’t log in every single day and do the readings and exercises, it just skips ahead to the next day and so you miss out unless you go back. I can go back, but it’s really confusing and hard to keep track of all the days that I have missed, and in the meantime they just keep piling up. I wouldn’t care except the readings are so good and they do sometimes build on each other so who knows how much great stuff I’ve missed. I realize it would be a challenge to change that functionality but I doubt I’m the only one. I would be curious how many people are missing out. This is definitely not a reason not to download the app (download it!). Just a huge opportunity to make it better.

Thank you so much for your feedback; we appreciate it so much and will definitely use your suggestions to improve! Concerning the content moving forward when you are not logged in, this is something that we are working on changing and very soon the content should pause when you are not active! Thank you again for your feedback and continued patience!

Over the years, since questioning my relationship with alcohol, I have done online sessions, schools, apps,etc to help me navigate my drinking. I have not wanted to fully quit but I have wanted to cut back. All things I had signed up for had some good stuff in it, but the reframe app has been by far the most amazing, helpful tool (for me) by far. I am absolutely obsessed with doing the daily tasks and learning things about my drinking I have never known or connected with (the science part of it). My favorite part of the app is that I can pop on any day of the week to the 30 min zoom calls for encouragement, support and ability to share my triumphs and downfalls with others who get it. There is zero shame and just so much love as we all navigate this together. The zoom leaders are absolutely awesome and so well spoken, educated on this subject and totally down to earth and relatable. I saw the app show up in my Instagram sponsored ads and kept seeing it but sat on it for quite some time. I finally decided to download it and can’t believe all that is available through it. I honestly can’t say enough about it. I’ve been doing it every day for 2 weeks straight. It’s become something I really look forward to and enjoy. Thank you sooooo much to the developers for creating this! You have been a godsend! 🙏🏻

We are so grateful for you and for your positive feedback. We're so glad you found us, and thank you for showing up for yourself and others! We may give you the tools but YOU are doing all of the hard work. 😌

I struggled at first to show up daily, but when I finally caught up I promised myself that I would commit. Every single day. That’s when it clicked. I don’t want to write a novel, but I could rave about this program for hours on end. The knowledge I’ve gained, the changes I’ve made to my brain and to my body, the way I’m completely in charge of my alcohol intake, it’s all so priceless. It took a lot of consistency and work but my relationship with alcohol is completely different. I went from drinking every single day, having severe stomach pain, health issues, and waking up never feeling rested to not even wanting to drink, no more stomach pain, and I sleep like a baby. My mind hasn’t been this clear in many years. I won’t lie, feeling my severe depression fully has been the hardest part, but this program didn’t just give me confidence with alcohol. It’s also shown me that I can handle anything as long as I take the time to care for myself. I love how I can apply a lot of the things I’ve learned to various aspects of my life. I can’t believe I’m tearing up right now, but I think that goes to show just how much of an impact this program has had on me. Reframe- you’ve changed my life. I was headed down a very dark road and you helped me save myself. I couldn’t be more grateful.

First off, thank you so much for taking the time to gather your thoughts and send us such a detailed feedback; we are so appreciative! Second...wow! We are also teary reading your feedback, and we are honored to be a part of this process with you. We are so glad that you are seeing progress and success on your journey!

I love this app so much I feel like it gave me the power back. never really thought I had a problem. do you know how when you go to a doctor and they ask you to fill out a form? How many drinks did you have this week and you make up a number you say like five? in reality, it really was like 2 to 3 drinks a night for me. and then on the football Sunday, they could end up being 10 drinks throughout the day, but who really counts. anyway, I actually set a goal because I didn’t want to stop drinking but I wanted to actually stick to a number and be accountable so I said a goal of eight drinks a week. The reason I said that gold because I wanted to give myself some grace if I wanted to have a drink, and I thought that was obtainable.

All the resources that this app provides gave me tools I didn’t know I needed. I have averaged no more than 11 drinks per month over the last hundred days. and I have a drink when I really want to have one, but not because of some of the triggered reasons that I used to have. It really is or has given me the power back. PS everything in my life is better, including my relationship with my family, which I thought was already fantastic but it’s even better thank you so much for creating this app. It’s super awesome.

We are so thankful that you took the time to sit down and put your thoughts together for us; we are ecstatic to hear about the goals that you have been working towards and we are so proud of you for the progress you are making. Thank you for choosing and trusting Reframe!

I cannot say enough about how this app—including my fellow “Reframers”, the tools, resources AND the amazing coaches—has changed my experience of & with alcohol. In the past I have tried to cut back on my own, to no avail. I wanted to be healthier. I wanted to not spend so much $ on Prosecco. I wanted to wake up refreshed, or at least not exhausted. There were lots of whole-hearted or half-hearted attempts that went by the wayside. I never thought I could/would actually want to be sober. 24x365? Absolutely nope. Epiphanies happen. …Finding this app & community has changed everything. I now have a community and set of tools right in my hand, 24hrs a day, where I can lean in for support, or encourage others, and along the way learn the science behind my “relationship” with alcohol. Btw - I got divorced. Immediately. And I haven’t gone back. It’s an ex- I never want to succumb to again. This is a safe place to explore cutting back or quitting. Or just learning. Everything I have needed is here. And crazily enough, exactly when I needed it. Every day brings new tools & knowledge. Right when I seem to need that tool or wisdom. Uncanny. I am grateful beyond measure. I know that there is no one-size-fits-all, but for me, this is the perfect fit.

This is absolutely beautiful to read and we are so thankful that you took the time to let us know your thoughts. Thank you for choosing Reframe; members like you make our community the safe and supportive place that it is!

If you are living with a potentially harmful behavior, in this app, alcohol, and you want to change your relationship with that behavior, this app is for you! Each day you’ll encounter brief, thoughtful and meaningful tasks or activities: you’ll learn from the daily reading, be inspired by the motivation, act on what you’ve learned through brief, focused activities (short journaling, a self-assessment, a guided meditation, etc). Finally you’ll log your drinks each day. There are two “tracks” in the app: complete abstinence from alcohol, or “cut back” from alcohol. Each uses a roadmap to show you the path and your progress. When you’re seeking more connectivity with other “Refamers” check out the forum with multiple topics and groups. Check out the live ZOOM meetings (several a day) to be encouraged and supported as you explore your healthier new life. The numbers don’t lie. If you engage the app, honestly account for your drinks (you’re only lying to yourself if you don’t report the drinks as consumed) you WILL see improvement. Your life with change. Your body will heal. Your mind will grow. Weather you want to stop drinking altogether or want to cut back how much you do, you’ll find the support, tools and structure to do it. Do it! It’s worth every penny and more.

Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know about your experience so far with Reframe and what you have enjoyed during your time using the app! We are thrilled to hear that you are happy with your investment, both in Reframe and in yourself!

The app is fantastic for those recovering or on the journey to cut back and or to be alcohol free. Decent price at $40 annually. Great tools such as forums, multiple zoom check in sessions with coaches for those who need accountability, daily readings using scientific methods and analytics, podcasts, video libraries, courses, meditations, and much more. The biggest drawback is signing up for personalized coaching sessions which is $249 a month for 3 sessions. The coaches are certified coaches, no problem there. What isn’t clear when signing up is how the sessions work, there’s not enough terms explained. Such as you must use the sessions within the time frame you are charged or you loose them, they don’t carry over. What can be hard is that life can get in the way of scheduling those sessions especially during the holidays. I ran into this problem with my own schedule AND with the coach and her own schedule. Reframe also didn’t notify me via email to put the invite on my Google calendar so the coach had to notify Reframe to fix our schedules and that had happened to me and her other clients that week. Instead of charging a set # of sessions with in a month, you should be able to pay as you go for each session as it is in the real world when you schedule face to face therapy sessions. I was not happy that I lost out on my 3 unused sessions to Reframe.

Thank you so much for your feedback; please send us a message directly at support if you would like to use the option to "pay as you go," as this is an option we do offer. The package you chose is for those who are sure they will use 3 sessions per month and wish to purchase those at a discounted rate, as well as for users who plan to continue coaching. (As you know, without a current coaching subscription you will be unable to schedule sessions.) Feel free to reach out by shaking your device when the app is open and we can tell you more about your coaching options!
