* Is eTSF effective in reducing alcohol use and increasing 12-step engagement compared to the control condition? The control condition will receive educational materials on drinking problems and a list of local/online AA meetings Participants will
* Be randomly assigned to either the eTSF condition or the control condition.
* Fill out the baseline online survey.
* Go through the eTSF app/control materials.
* And at 3 months post-baseline, fill out the follow-up online survey.
