Privacy & Data
Is my data secure?
Yes - all your data stays on your device only. We don't collect, store, or transmit any personal information to external servers. Your data is as secure as your device.
What happens if I switch devices?
Currently, data doesn't sync between devices since everything is stored locally. You'd need to complete the assessment again on a new device. This is intentional for privacy.
What if I clear my browser data?
Your Suddenly Sober data will be lost if you clear browser storage. We recommend noting your protocol somewhere safe as backup.
Technical Questions
Does the app work offline?
Yes! Since all data is stored locally, the app works completely offline after the initial page load.
Why don't my health conditions affect my protocol?
Currently, health conditions are saved for future reference but don't modify protocols. This feature will be enhanced as we add more sophisticated personalization.
Can I export my data?
Not currently, but this is a planned feature. For now, your progress statistics are visible in the app's Progress section.
About the Approach
Is this approach scientifically based?
Yes, all supplement recommendations are based on published research studies. You can find detailed citations and explanations in the full
"Suddenly Sober" book available on Amazon.
Should I consult a doctor before using this protocol?
Absolutely. While these are natural supplements, they can interact with medications and medical conditions. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you're planning to reduce or stop alcohol consumption.
Amazon Affiliate Program
Do you earn commissions from supplement purchases?
Yes, this app participates in the Amazon Associates Program. When you purchase supplements through our Amazon links, we earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. This helps support the continued development and free access to this app.
Are your supplement recommendations influenced by affiliate commissions?
No. All supplement recommendations are based solely on scientific research and the protocols detailed in the "Suddenly Sober" book. We only recommend supplements that are backed by clinical studies, regardless of commission rates.
Can I buy supplements elsewhere?
Absolutely! You're free to purchase the recommended supplements from any retailer. The Amazon links are provided for convenience, and the specific brands matter less than getting quality supplements with the right active ingredients and dosages.
