About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if it is feasible and acceptable to use a recovery coach and an online sober active community to help with alcohol use disorder after liver transplant. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Is using a recovery coach after liver transplant to help with alcohol use recovery feasible and acceptable? * Is using an online sober active community after liver transplant to help with alcohol use recovery feasible and acceptable? Researchers will compare standard of care including a recovery coach alone to a recovery coach plus to assist with recovery from alcohol use recovery after liver transplant

Participants will:

* Work with a recovery coach including a weekly phone call * Visit the clinic once every 3 months for a checkup and to complete surveys * If randomized to the intervention arm, download an online application with access to a digital sober active community
