Talk it through with the AI guide

Before you begin

A quick safety check

You are speaking with an AI guide, not James replying live. It can help you put the week you are having into words and work out a next sensible move. It is not a doctor, addiction clinician, counsellor, key worker, sponsor or emergency service. It cannot diagnose you, judge how the ninety days are going, arrange aftercare, contact anybody on your behalf, or monitor you.

It does not diagnose and it does not treat. It will not tell you whether you have relapsed, how the ninety days are going, what medication you should be on, what dose, or which clinic or programme to choose. If you have started drinking daily again, stopping suddenly can be dangerous, and that is a doctor today rather than a chat window. If anything has become an emergency, stop and use your local emergency services — the safety page lists the routes.

Do not name your clinic, your key worker, your employer or anybody else here. Nothing written in a chat window is confidential or privileged.

This chat is currently complimentary, with up to ten turns in a rolling 24-hour period on this guide, across all your conversations here. Safety-related responses are never limited by this allowance.
