Aside from all the treatment and mandatory meetings that you are committed to during your recovery, you can make personal choices that will help you stay sober for the rest of your life. Using the right technology can steer you away from negative influences and allow you to live a healthier and more positive life. Here is a list of recovery apps we put together that can be useful during your initial sobriety period and beyond.
12 Steps AA Companion
This is essentially the digital version of the big book of AA. You can pull up every chapter and prayer as well as highlight and share text. It also lists all AA locations around the country and other recovery resources that you can call and reach out to.
One Step Mobile
The One Step Mobile app encourages accountability especially for those in the early stages of their recovery. Individuals in recovery get notified prior to appointments, can keep track of their number of days sober as well as keeping track of their recovery goals. Another great feature that One Step offers is a progress section where you can see the number of meetings you’ve attended, the images or videos that motivate you and much more. One Step was created to help over 22 million people stay sober and clean from drugs and alcohol. You can download it from the Google Play Store or App Store today.
Also, don’t be surprised if everyone at the house knows you’re celebrating a milestone when the app shares your sobriety anniversary!
