About Freedom: Mission, Evidence & Editorial Standards

Stop Drinking Alcohol: Freedom is a mobile app by SK LABS for adults who want to quit or reduce alcohol consumption. It combines progress tracking, craving tools, habit education informed by cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) concepts, and private messaging with human mentors.

Our Approach: Practical Tools, Not Coaching Fluff

Our mission is to make changing your drinking habits practical: record your progress, prepare for difficult moments and choose a response you can use in everyday life. You can work toward quitting, cutting back or taking a break.

Tools Informed by Evidence

Follow guided breathing, try a sensory grounding sequence or use a focus exercise during an urge. Short lessons help you identify a trigger, recognize what you expect from alcohol and plan an alternative action. These tools put stress-management and coping strategies into practice.

Private Notes, Stored on Your Device

Your lesson answers and reflection notes stay on your device. Lesson completion status, account progress and messages are stored separately on our servers; private mentor conversations are accessible to authorized support staff.

Human Connection

Send private text or voice messages to a human mentor and share experiences in the community without joining a traditional support group. Anonymous posting hides your profile from other members, while the service retains the account link. Mentor replies depend on staff availability.

Evidence & Educational Sources

Our guides and habit lessons draw on public health guidance, including the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). Its craving guidance explains how to recognize triggers and prepare coping responses—skills used in CBT. NHS guidance also describes breathing exercises for managing stress.

We distinguish evidence for a general method from evidence about Freedom app itself. A source supporting a coping strategy does not establish a treatment success rate for our app. Freedom is an educational and self-help product, not a medical device, addiction treatment or a service for managing alcohol withdrawal.

Editorial Integrity & Corrections

The Freedom / SK LABS editorial team writes and maintains this website. We are the team behind the product, and we make that relationship clear in our guides and app comparisons.

SK LABS Editorial Team

Our editorial team documents Freedom’s features and explains how to use them. We prepare educational guides from cited public health guidance and research, check product descriptions against the implemented app, and maintain this website’s sources and corrections.

Plain Language and Traceable Sources

We explain practical actions in everyday English, cite sources beside relevant claims and prefer official health guidance and original research. We keep educational guidance separate from medical treatment and describe product functions against the implemented app.

Fact Checking and Updates

We check sources when preparing and revising content, and revisit claims when evidence, product features or reported errors change. Guides show publication and update dates. Estimates, personal experiences and tester feedback are identified as such.
