Day by Day

One short thought for every day of the year, each in its own style. Read it with your coffee, say it out loud, carry it with you.

Ride a craving

Cravings rise, peak and fall. Many fade within 20 to 30 minutes if you do not act on them. Start the guide and breathe with the circle: in for 4 seconds, out for 6.

Daily two-minute meditation

  1. Sit down and let your shoulders drop. Breathe slowly for a few rounds.
  2. Find the craving or tension in your body. Name it: "tight chest" or "restless hands".
  3. Watch it without arguing with it or acting on it.
  4. Say quietly, "This will pass."
  5. Finish with one thing you will do today to protect your recovery.

Daily reflection

Take two minutes at the end of the day. Answer the question honestly. Nobody reads this but you.

Relapse prevention

Most relapses start well before the first drink or use. Check in with yourself daily. If one of these is true, fix it early.

My plan

Write this when you feel steady, so it is ready when you do not. It saves in this browser only and is never sent anywhere.

If you slip, tell someone the same day. Look at what led up to it, change one thing in the plan, and go on from there. The Start over button on the clean-time counter keeps your longest run saved.

Meetings and support

Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines can be dangerous. Do not stop suddenly without medical advice. Call a doctor or a helpline below first.

Alcoholics Anonymous

AA doesn't run one national hotline. The find page leads you to meetings and your area's phone line, and Online Intergroup has meetings you can join today.

Narcotics Anonymous

The meeting search lists local meetings and helplines near you. NA World Services office: 818-773-9999 (Van Nuys, California).

Call or text any time

988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, free and open 24/7.

1-800-662-4357 SAMHSA National Helpline for substance use and mental health, free and confidential, 24/7.

Treatment and other programs

Search treatment near you, or try a program built on skills and science instead of the 12 steps.

AA and NA links open their official sites. This page is not affiliated with either fellowship.
