Alcohol Dependency Disclaimer

Important Safety Information

Please read this disclaimer carefully before using the Reset App. If you are dependent on alcohol, this information is critical to your safety.

Who This Disclaimer Is For

This disclaimer applies to all users of the Reset App. It is particularly important for anyone who currently drinks alcohol heavily, drinks daily, or is concerned they may be alcohol dependent.

Our App Is Not a Treatment for Alcohol Dependency

The Reset App is designed to support people who wish to reduce or eliminate their alcohol consumption as a lifestyle and personal wellbeing choice. The Reset App is not:

  • A clinical treatment program for alcohol use disorder
  • A medically supervised detoxification service
  • A substitute for professional addiction treatment or counselling
  • Appropriate as the sole support for managing alcohol dependency

Alcohol Withdrawal Can Be Dangerous

WARNING: Suddenly stopping or significantly reducing alcohol consumption can cause serious and potentially life-threatening withdrawal symptoms in people who are alcohol dependent. Do not attempt to stop drinking abruptly without medical supervision if you may be alcohol dependent.

Symptoms can include: tremors and shaking, anxiety and confusion, nausea and vomiting, elevated heart rate, seizures, and delirium tremens (DTs) — a severe and potentially fatal form of withdrawal.

Please Seek Medical Advice Before Starting

Consult a medical professional before making any changes to your alcohol consumption if any of the following apply:

  • You drink alcohol every day or most days
  • You drink large amounts of alcohol regularly
  • You have previously experienced withdrawal symptoms
  • You have been told by a doctor that you are alcohol dependent
  • You feel physically unwell if you do not drink alcohol
  • You have a history of seizures or any chronic health condition
