The shift

Before the meeting.
Everything changes after one session.

You don't stop cravings through force.
You stop them through understanding.

When you see exactly what is firing and why, the urge loses its grip.

Before the session
✕Fighting the urge and losing — again
✕Believing you are broken or weak
✕White-knuckling every day, counting hours
✕Not understanding why it keeps coming back
After the first session
✓Understanding exactly where the drive comes from
✓Seeing the urge as completely separate from who you are
✓The craving losing its grip — through clarity, not force
✓Free app + daily community to keep going every day

Tonight's session

One hour.
Four steps.

A live meeting, not a lecture. You don't need to speak or sign up. You leave with real clarity — and everything unlocked.

1

You join — anonymous, zero friction

Click the link. No name, no account, no card.

2

Roger maps what's actually happening

15 minutes — why the craving fires and why fighting it never works.

3

The group does one live exercise

Most people feel a real shift in session one.

4

You unlock the app + community — free

No payment. No catch. Practice daily. Return whenever.

From one meeting to a new life

The full journey.
Five stages.

Most programmes tell you to fight your cravings forever. The IC Solution shows you why they fire — and once you understand that, the fight stops. Here's what the path looks like, from your first free meeting to long-term freedom.

1
Tonight · Free · Anonymous

The first meeting

Join a free 1-hour IC Investigation Meetup — no name, no account, no obligation to speak. Roger maps exactly why cravings fire and why willpower alone never works. Most people feel a real shift in their first session.

Separation · The breakthrough

You are not your IC

The first shift is recognising that the craving isn't you — it's your Instinctual Core misfiring. Once you see the IC as separate from who you are, the urge stops feeling like identity and starts feeling like a false alarm.

RADAR · Retrain your IC

Catch it. Dissect it. Override it.

RADAR is the daily practice tool. When a craving fires, you Recognise the hijack, Analyse the false alarm, Dissect the survival story, Activate the filter, and Respond consciously instead. Each session retrains the neural pathway.

Recognise Analyse Dissect Activate Respond

ROAR · Reactivate yourself

Build the life you actually want

After RADAR quiets the IC, ROAR fills the space with real human drives — Purpose, Growth, Engagement, Appreciation, Intrigue. Life stops being about resisting and starts being about building.

Community · Long-term freedom

Repetition, accountability, freedom

Real change solidifies through repetition with others. Daily meetups convert intellectual understanding into lived behaviour — you go from overcoming individual cravings to eliminating their underlying source altogether.

Daily meetings Free app No labels Long-term

Step 1 — Tonight

Leave with clarity.

No name. No account. No card. Just click the link and listen in. Roger runs the session — you can be invisible if you want.

Step 2 — Separation

The craving is not you.

Your IC is a survival system that evolved in the Stone Age. It treats stress and cravings like predators. Once you see it as a separate system — not your identity — it loses its grip.

The hijack: IC fires a false alarm, feels like identity
You
The truth: you are the observer — not the alarm

Separation breaks the shame cycle instantly

Step 3 — RADAR

Retrain
your IC.

The daily practice tool. Use it whenever a craving or toxic emotion fires. Each session weakens the pathway.

R
Recognise — catch the IC mid-hijack
A
Analyse — understand the false alarm
D
Dissect — break down the survival story
A
Activate filter — pass or reject the reaction
R
Respond — choose a conscious human response

Step 4 — ROAR

Reactivate
yourself.

Stop resisting. Start building. ROAR aligns your actions with the Layers of Human Happiness — your real drives, not the IC's survival fears.

Purpose Why you're here
Growth Who you're becoming
Engagement What absorbs you
Appreciation What you're grateful for
Intrigue What pulls you forward

Step 5 — Community

The IC stops
misfiring.

Daily meetups with others going through the same process lock in long-term change. You stop fighting your brain. The life you chose replaces the one that was forced on you.

✓
Eliminate the underlying source — not just symptoms
✓
Repetition with the community solidifies every change
✓
Free forever — daily meetings, free app, no catch

The person behind it

Roger didn't read about this.
He lived it.

Roger Andresen spent years as a high-functioning alcoholic — successful on the outside, fighting a war no one could see. He tried willpower. He tried AA. He tried therapy. None of it explained the why.

The breakthrough came when he stopped treating the craving as the enemy and started understanding it as a misfiring survival system. He built the IC framework to map exactly what was happening — and it worked. Then he built a program so anyone could do the same in one free hour.

Common questions

Everything you're
wondering about.

Is it really free? What's the catch?
+

Completely free — the meeting, the app, and the daily community. No credit card, no trial, no upsell. Roger built this because he wanted the barrier to zero. The long-term IC University programme is paid, but you'll never be pushed toward it. You can use the free tier forever.

Do I have to speak or turn my camera on?
+

No. You can be completely invisible — no camera, no name, no participation required. Many people attend their first five or six sessions just listening. You share when you want to, if you want to. There's no pressure, ever.

How is this different from AA?
+

AA asks you to accept a label and surrender to a higher power. IC explains the neuroscience of why cravings fire and gives you a daily tool to intercept them. No labels. No steps. No lifetime disease narrative. The craving is a misfiring system — not your identity.

What if I've tried everything and nothing worked?
+

Most people who find IC have already tried AA, therapy, medication, and willpower — and felt like failures when those didn't work. They weren't failing. The tools were wrong. Those approaches treat the symptom. IC addresses the source — the survival system misfiring underneath. One session is enough to feel the difference.

What time are the sessions? How do I join?
+

Sessions run daily via Zoom. Click the button on this page, and you'll get the link immediately — no account needed. The time is shown in your local timezone on the session widget above. If tonight doesn't work, tomorrow's session is the same format.

Is this only for alcohol, or other addictions too?
+

The IC framework applies to any behaviour driven by the Instinctual Core — alcohol, substances, food, gambling, screens, anger, anxiety. The misfiring system is the same underneath all of them. The meeting is framed around alcohol because that's where Roger's personal experience is deepest, but the tools work universally.
