a private journal for staying sober — one day at a time
What this is
A private space for your sobriety, built around the Big Book — the foundational recovery text (early, public-domain edition). Write what's on your mind and it quietly points you to passages that meet you where you are. Nothing is made up — it's the real text — and your entries stay private to you.
●Journal — write freely and get the passage that fits what you're feeling
●Read the book — chapters from the Big Book, second edition, whenever you want them
●Learn the program — the core ideas, the Twelve Steps, and the Twelve Traditions, each explained plainly
●Stay steady — log meetings, make a daily pledge, and watch your sober days add up
●Listen — have any passage or reflection read aloud to you
New here? You don't need to know any of the terms — just start writing.
Your writing stays private — we never share your entries.

Meetings

Free for everyone

Find a meeting

Type a US city or ZIP and open the map — you'll see meeting places near there, each with its address and details. A room you can walk into is sometimes the whole thing.
This opens the map in a separate tab so PnP stays open behind it — close the map and you're right back here. The map shows real meeting locations; tap any one for its address, hours, and contact info. Always confirm with the group, since schedules change. A.A. is free and anonymous; nothing here is stored or shared.

Steps Eight & Nine

Amends list

A place to make the list the eighth step asks for — the people harmed — and to mark, as the ninth step is worked, where amends have been made. Some are made face-to-face; others, where a direct approach would injure someone, are made another way — through changed action over time, or quietly to yourself. This list stays private on this device.

Settings

Reflection tone

The wording style reflections are written in (this is the text, not the spoken voice).
Read-aloud voice
The voice used when you tap 🔊.
Voices come from your device, and your device decides which one actually plays. On a phone, the voice is set by your system Text-to-speech settings (Android: Settings → General management → Text-to-speech output), not here — changing the picker above may not change it. On a computer, you can pick any voice listed; Microsoft Edge on Windows adds the most natural “Online” voices. Consistent, studio-grade voices on every device would need a cloud voice service, which we can add later.
Reflections retrieve pre-written, reviewed content by matching your words to concepts — never generated in the moment. The quoted passages are real, from the verified public-domain 2nd edition. Your entries are encrypted and private to your account.
Daily reminders
A nudge for each practice, at a time you choose.

Premium includes generous storage for your entries and photos. Heavy, long-term use — years of daily journaling with many photos — may exceed the included storage; if that happens we'll offer optional extra storage at a small additional cost, and you'll always be told before any change. Recovery is the point, not your wallet.
