Late Night SupportA place to turn when the day gets quiet.
Trust starts with clear choices
Your recovery.
Your people.
Your say.
Getting support should feel like opening a door, not giving up control. These are the principles guiding how we build SmartSober.
01
You choose your support person.An invitation they accept, with a role you both understand.
02
You agree on the rules in advance.Know what triggers a check-in alert and what your contact will receive.
03
You can change your mind.Separate sharing choices, with ways to pause or revoke access.
Health insights and automated alerts are planned features. They cannot confirm relapse or guarantee someone’s safety.
Why we’re building it
Recovery is personal.
So is the reason we started.
SmartSober began with founder Joe Guadagnino’s own experience in sobriety and a simple question: how do we make it easier to reach for support when asking feels hard?
We’re building a place that can fit alongside the people, meetings, and care that already matter to you. A place for the ordinary days, the difficult evenings, and the next honest check-in.
