BACtrack View, Lifesaver!

“I have struggled with sobriety for 5 years and have been in and out of treatment for alcoholism. Having relapsed and not being able to fight off the disease has caused major problems in my relationships, career and health. After completing treatment with a major medical system, I found BACtrack View and added this to my recovery support plan. I elected into this program and signed up for a year to help demonstrate my commitment to sobriety and rebuilding trust. This device is much more than a tool. It is a key component to helping me remain accountable, but also regain trust from the ones I love. This is a great asset to recovery and doesn’t always have to come by way of a parole officer or court ordered mandate. It is a great tool for the regular person who wants to turn their life around. Thank you for creating such an amazing device and service.”

– Gary S. from Minnesota
