How do I stop drinking at night specifically?
Night is the most searched version of this, and there is no special evening technique. What changes at night is that you are tired, alone, and worse at deciding, which is an argument for something that starts on one tap and runs itself rather than something that asks you to choose.
If evenings are the whole pattern, that is worth saying to a doctor or a counsellor rather than managing one night at a time forever.
Is this for quitting, or for cutting back?
Neither, exactly. It is for one urge. Whether you are stopping entirely, cutting down, or have not decided, the six minutes is the same and the app never asks which you are doing. Plenty of people use it while still drinking.
Do I have to call myself an alcoholic?
No, and you are not asked to identify as anything. There is no profile, no sign up, and no question about how much you drink. If the word fits and you use it, that is yours. If it does not, the app works the same.
Is there a streak I will break?
No. Nothing counts days, so there is nothing to reset on a bad night. Day counters work well for a lot of people and there are good apps that do them. This is not one, on purpose.
What if it is not only drinking?
The app never asks which one, so it does not have to know. The six minutes are the same whichever it is.
If betting or vaping is part of it, the same session is described in those contexts on the pages for urges to gamble and urges to vape.
Where else can I get help?
This is one technique for the few minutes when an urge peaks. It is not treatment and it is not a substitute for it.
If you drink daily or heavily, speak to a doctor before stopping. The SAMHSA National Helpline is free, confidential, open 24 hours, and can refer you to treatment near you: 1‑800‑662‑4357. If you are in crisis, call or text 988.
