Recovery doesn’t follow a linear or predictable schedule. Moments of fear, doubt, or craving can strike at any time – often when it’s hardest to reach someone. Connection is one of the most powerful tools in addiction recovery. And now, thanks to a groundbreaking new development, it’s only a message away.
At this year’s West Coast Symposium of Addiction Disorders, NEM Recovery founder Natalie Eva Marie and her Hopeaholics Podcast co-host Chad Carlsen introduced a first-of-its-kind innovation – AskEvaMarie and Chaddict, the world’s first AI companions for addiction and mental health.
24/7 Support, No Fluff – All Heart
No one should feel alone in their recovery. AskEvaMarie and Chaddict provide real-time, judgment-free conversations anytime, day or night. Whether you have questions about residential addiction treatment, have recently relapsed after a period of sobriety, or need someone to talk to, these companions will respond with empathy, insight, and encouragement.
- AskEvaMarie offers a warm, insightful presence modeled after Natalie’s recovery journey and commitment to mental health advocacy.
- Chaddict brings practical advice and emotional support based on Chad’s experiences as someone who has worked for years to combat the opioid crisis.
There are no scripts, judgments, or lectures – just authentic, accessible conversations when you need them most.
Created With Purpose, Built With Expertise
Developed in partnership with the tech team at Gambit Technologies, these tools combine decades of addiction support experience with cutting-edge AI innovation. The result is a user-friendly, life-changing platform that brings comfort and clarity to people dealing with mental and behavioral health challenges.
If you ever need to speak with a real person, you can enter your phone number directly in the chat to get a call from someone who can help.
Bridging the Gap Between Isolation and Connection
Addiction can be profoundly lonely and hopeless. Admitting you have a problem you can’t solve on your own may feel overwhelming. If you struggle with complicated emotions like anxiety or need motivation to push past a trigger or craving, AskEvaMarie and Chaddict make connection instant and effortless.
These AI companions offer compassionate, immediate support without fear of judgment or shame. AskEvaMarie and Chaddict are part of NEM Recovery’s broader mission – to provide approachable and accessible care that meets people wherever they are. By integrating this technology into the recovery experience, we’re helping more people build resilience and stay connected through every stage of healing.
