When there are hundreds of meetings in a region, the problem is not only finding one.
The harder question is:
Which meeting am I most likely to attend today?
SoberPals can help people choose meetings based on meeting type, distance, time, format, saved meetings, personal goals, and support-network features planned for Q4 2026.
Set goals such as 90 meetings in 90 days, and keep a record of participation you can use privately or choose to share.
SoberPals supports multiple recovery pathways, including AA, NA, SMART Recovery, Recovery Dharma, and other recovery and health organization events.
The goal is to make the next helpful connection easier to find.

For alcoholism, getting connected to the right support can be one of the most important steps.
Researchers from Stanford and Harvard found that Alcoholics Anonymous and Twelve-Step Facilitation often work as well as, or better than, other established treatments for helping people stay sober.
But knowing support works is different from getting yourself to a meeting when anxiety, cravings, depression, shame, or isolation show up.
SoberPals helps with the practical steps: finding a meeting, choosing one that feels reachable, saving it, checking in when appropriate, adding support contacts, setting goals, and staying connected afterward.

SoberPals helps you focus on the next small recovery action: attend a meeting, check in with support, add a trusted contact, or work toward a meeting goal that fits your recovery — whether that is one meeting this week or, for some people, 90 meetings in 90 days.
Keep a record of attendance for yourself and track your progress over time.
If needed, you can choose to share attendance with programs, recovery homes, courts, sponsors, peer supporters, providers, or trusted supporters.
The goal is to help small actions happen before relapse feels closer.

Many programs encourage meeting attendance, peer-support participation, sponsorship, and step work.
The challenge is helping people follow through after the recommendation is made.
For alcohol use disorder, this matters because AA participation and professionally delivered Twelve-Step Facilitation have a strong evidence base.
Kelly and colleagues summarized the 2020 Cochrane review by concluding that AA/TSF interventions produced similar benefits to other treatments across drinking-related outcomes, with superior findings for continuous abstinence and remission, and reduced healthcare costs.
Their clinical and policy conclusion was direct:
“Clinically implementing one of these proven manualized AA/TSF interventions is likely to enhance outcomes for individuals with AUD while producing health economic benefits.”
SoberPals does not deliver treatment and does not replace a manualized Twelve-Step Facilitation intervention.
It can help organizations support the practical steps around participation: finding meetings, setting goals, saving meetings, checking in when appropriate, adding support contacts, documenting participation, identifying barriers, and discussing progress between visits.
The goal is not to replace human support.
The goal is to make evidence-informed support easier to plan, easier to follow through on, and easier to discuss.
Kelly et al. published a clinician and policy-maker summary of the 2020 Cochrane review of AA and professionally delivered Twelve-Step Facilitation for alcohol use disorder. The review found AA/TSF produced similar benefits to other treatments on most drinking-related outcomes, was superior for continuous abstinence and remission, and reduced healthcare costs.
