Waking up wanting one is not a bad sign. It is just old wiring firing.

An empty Tuesday night is not a problem to solve. It is just a Tuesday night.

Being asked why you're not having any is annoying, not an emergency.

You are not further behind than you were. You're in a different spot than you thought.

A year sounds like a lot until you're standing in it. Then it's just Thursday.

Saying "I am struggling" out loud shrinks it a little. Not all the way. A little.

One day at a time is not a slogan. It is a way of shrinking the problem until you can carry it.

Questions
Common questions.
Giving out your phone number is a real thing to ask of you. Here is exactly what happens to it, and exactly how you leave if you want to.
One text a day, no app
Will you sell my number, or send me spam?
No. Your number is used to manage message delivery, consent, replies, subscription support, checkout, and cancellation. We never sell it, rent it, trade it, or hand it to advertisers or data brokers. If you request a sample, start a free week, or start checkout, we send only the texts described in the consent language shown there. Service providers needed to operate SoberHint include Twilio for text delivery, Stripe for checkout and billing, AWS for storage, and Cloudflare for hosting. We never see your card number.
How do I get out? Is this one of those subscriptions you can never cancel?
Reply STOP to any message. One word. The texts end, and any billing ends, in the same moment, automatically. There is no login, no password, no account page to hunt for, nothing to write, and no phone call where someone talks you out of it. You never have to explain yourself to anybody. The free week has no card at all. The portal at soberhint.com/cancel is only for paid subscribers updating a card or viewing billing history.
How many texts will I actually get?
One a day, in the morning by default. On your 7th, 30th, and 100th SoberHint texts, a small marker line takes the place of the usual one, so it is still a single text. Reply MORNING, AFTERNOON, or EVENING to change the time. Reply HELP for support.
Does the free week turn into a charge automatically?
No. The free week never asks for a card, so there is nothing to charge. Near the end of it we text you a link in case you want to keep going for $9 a month or $39 a year. If you do nothing, the daily texts simply stop after 7 days.
What if I am not sure I am ready for any of this?
That is fine. Ask for a single sample text and see what one looks like before anything begins. Or start the free week: one text a day for 7 days, with just your phone number and no card. Either way, reply STOP to any text and it stops. Nobody will ask why.
Is this religious, or tied to a 12 step program?
No. SoberHint is secular and program neutral. The messages never mention AA, NA, a higher power, steps, or any particular framework, and they never assume you are in a program or that you want to be. If a program is part of your life, nothing here works against it. If it is not, nothing here pushes you toward one.
Is this therapy, treatment, or a crisis line?
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. SoberHint is a daily encouraging text message. It is not medical advice, not therapy, not counseling, not treatment, and not monitoring. It does not diagnose anything and it is not a substitute for professional care. If you are in crisis, call the SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357, free and confidential, 24 hours a day. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
Am I texting a bot that acts like it is my therapist?
No. Nothing here poses as a counselor, a sponsor, or a friend who is checking in. The daily message is a written line from a reviewed library, sent automatically. Replying STOP, HELP, MORNING, AFTERNOON, or EVENING triggers an automatic response, because those are the controls. Anything else you send is not a live conversation and nobody is standing by to answer it, so if you need a person, call SAMHSA at 1-800-662-4357. For questions about the service itself, use the contact page at soberhint.com/contact. Replies may be stored so that signs of distress can be spotted, which the privacy policy explains in full.
Who writes the messages?
There are 528 reviewed lines in the library. The daily rotation currently uses the 362 lines that are true for anyone on any day, and holds back 166 that only fit a specific moment: a holiday, a slip, the first week, a year in. The drafts are written with AI help, then read, cut, and edited by hand, and the current library is marked approved. Automatic guardrails reject medical advice, promises nobody can keep, shaming, and fate or manifestation talk. The general daily selection does not reuse an eligible line for 362 days. The first week of a free week is a fixed set of lines, and a milestone line can replace that day's general line.
Can I change what time it arrives?
Yes, and there is no account to log into. Reply MORNING, AFTERNOON, or EVENING to any message and it switches right away, with a text back confirming that it took. Morning lands around 7am, afternoon around 12pm, and evening around 7pm in your own time zone.
Do I need an app, an account, or a password?
None of the three. There is nothing to download, nothing to log into, and nothing to remember. Enter your phone number and the free week starts, no card needed. The message arrives on any phone that can receive a text, including a phone that is not a smartphone.
Will someone see what this is on my lock screen?
It arrives like any other text from an ordinary number. The daily line begins with the word SoberHint, and it never names what you are recovering from. You can save the number in your contacts under any name you like.
Is this written for one kind of recovery?
No. The messages are deliberately written for anyone in recovery, and they never name what you are recovering from. What you are carrying is yours to name or not name. Nothing here asks you to say it out loud, label yourself, or count anything for us.
What if I miss a day?
Nothing happens. There is no score and no penalty. The text sits in your messages until you want it, and the next one comes the next day, the same as always.
Not medical advice. SoberHint is a daily text message, not treatment, therapy, or a crisis service. If you are in crisis, call the SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357, free and confidential, 24 hours a day. Read the privacy policy for how your number is handled, or who is behind this.
