Noali does not replace psychologists, psychiatrists, sober companions, case managers, interventionists or support groups: Noali is the link between teams, appointments, groups and families.
Resources

Short guides, signed, sourced

No blog for volume’s sake: answers to the questions people actually type, written by a certified coach, reviewed, dated, with sources. One new guide a week from launch.

The first guides

Twelve subjects to start with

Subjects come from real searches in France, Belgium, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Ireland. Each guide ends with frequently asked questions and a discreet pointer to the matching Noali tool, never with a promise.

How to stop drinking on your own: where to start

What to know beforehand, when to see a doctor, the first three steps, and why “on your own” does not mean “with no one”.

The first four weeks after rehab

Week by week: what changes, what threatens, what helps.

Relapse: what to do the same day, and the next

Without drama or denial. The plan, the people, getting back on track.

Helping someone who drinks: what works, what does not

Codependency in plain words, the CRAFT method, sentences that open the door.

The 12 steps, explained simply

Where they come from, what they ask, who they work for, and what Noali keeps from them.

Weed withdrawal: symptoms and how long they last

The real timeline of withdrawal, sleep, and how to get through the nights.

What a sober companion is, and what it costs

The job, the training, the usual rates, how to choose.

Choosing a sobriety app

Counter, community, programme, companion: what I Am Sober, Reframe, Sober Sidekick and Noali actually do, honestly.

Cravings: twenty minutes to let the urge pass

The urge surfing exercise, step by step.

Cocaine dependence: what families need to know

The signs, the risks, how to talk about it, where to find help.

Joint crisis plan or safety plan: which one to choose

Both templates, their differences, and why Noali chose the nine-part joint plan.

Dry January: and after 1 February?

What a month without alcohol teaches, and how to make it last.

How these guides are written

Each guide is written from public reference sources (Santé publique France, EUDA, NHS, HAS), reviewed and signed by Reb Brochet, certified recovery coach, and dated. Where a point is debated among specialists, the guide says so. When a guide is updated, the date changes. English versions are translated from the French text; if you spot a mistake, please tell us.
