This is an article from linkedin.com, November 12, 2009, submitted by Alexander Kintis, CEO of Kinal Corp |Current Project: Beating Addiction (www.BeatingAddiction.com). My colleagues hadn’t heard of this, so I thought it worth passing on to the recovery community.

ann-e: anonymous network
“ann-e: anonymous network: The ann-e iPhone app is a networking application for 12 Step program members.
With it, you can reach out for support, or offer help, to other members of 12 Step programs in your community and all over the world.
Ann-e, a new app for the iPhone, is a program which, as an alternative to relapsing, allows individuals to connect with each other. Conceptually, it is slightly similar to BeatingAddiction.com in that it gives access to a network of people for help with an addiction however BeatingAddiction.com is a web-based program while Ann-e is an application that installs on the iPhone. So now you may ask yourself, what do those do during their defining moment if they are without an iPhone?
Technical features include:
- users are allowed to exchange contact information
- users are allowed to move chats/texts to a live voice call
- users can use their GPS to determine where a supporter is
- password-protected program access
- peferences of known and in-person support groups and information
