After alcohol-dependent patients complete alcohol withdrawal treatment and return to their regular lives, they face further challenges in order to maintain sobriety. This study proposes SoberDiary, a phone-based support system that enables alcohol-dependent patients to self-monitor and self-manage their own alcohol use behavior and remain sober in their daily lives. Results from a 4-week user study involving 11 clinical patients show that, using SoberDiary, patients can self-monitor and self-manage their alcohol use behavior, reducing their total alcohol consumption and the number of drinking or heavy drinking days that occur following intervention.Mobile support system; Recovery from alcohol dependence[SDGs]SDG3Telephone sets; Ubiquitous computing; Alcohol consumption; Alcohol dependences; Alcohol-dependent patients; Chronic disorders; Daily lives; Mobile supports; Multiple areas; Support systems; Patient treatmentconference paper10.1145/2638728.26388472-s2.0-84908666836
