Step Away

Step Away is an Anchorage, Alaska-based smartphone app designed to help individuals overcome alcohol problems. Our interactive app provides users with the tools, tracking, and immediate support needed to successfully change their drinking habits. We serve individuals seeking a private and effective way to manage or reduce their alcohol consumption, addressing a critical need for accessible and personalized support. Step Away leverages decades of research from organizations like the U.S. National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and the VA Health Science Research and Development Service, demonstrating a proven approach to behavior change.

Step Away offers a unique, self-guided system that empowers users to understand their drinking patterns, set realistic goals, and develop coping strategies. It’s a cost-effective alternative to traditional treatment, with a free trial and affordable monthly subscription options.

Built upon continuous improvement and user feedback, Step Away provides a customizable experience, adapting to individual needs and preferences. From daily check-ins to weekly progress reports, and the ability to schedule non-drinking activities, Step Away acts as a personal assistant, guiding users towards lasting change. We’ve helped users reduce their drinking by 50-60% and found it to be ‘very to extremely helpful’ in changing drinking habits.
