The challenges of being in recovery are hard to understand without going through the process yourself. Even the most supportive, loving family members are often unable to truly grasp the roadblocks and hurdles that recovering alcoholics and addicts face every day. Recovery Planner LLC is a program developed for persons in recovery, by persons in recovery – people who fully understand and appreciate the true meaning of “one day at a time”.

Sometimes, it’s necessary to break it down even further. Some days, the challenges that face recovering addicts seem so insurmountable that even making it through a single day seems like a tall order. The Recovery Planner can help you through each step of the day by helping you to focus on your goals, acknowledge your fears and recognize the things for which you are grateful.

Whether you have battled with drug abuse, alcoholism, eating disorders or other addictive diseases, The Recovery Planner can help. This planner is designed to motivate, inspire and keep you on the path to recovery. Each page heading contains an encouraging meditational verse to provide motivation throughout the day. Each page has areas where you can write down your fears, resentments and gratitudes. There is also space to jot down notes on meetings and reminders about things to discuss at future meetings.

This remarkably powerful tool can be used by people recovering from any addiction, including:

Chronic sufferers of addiction like drug abuse have a tendency to fall back into destructive behavior patterns in the absence of strong time management techniques. The Recovery Planner gives you the tools to manage your time effectively. It also makes it easier to remember to take the road to recovery one day at a time – or one hour at a time, if necessary. By tracking your feelings, such as your hopes and dreams, or fears and worries, these can be broken down and achieved or overcome piece by piece. This is a much more manageable approach than simply setting a broad goal. Itemizing these things can serve as a roadmap to success and triumph both of your personal goals and towards recovery in general, whether it’s recovery from alcoholism or eating disorders or other addictive behaviors.

One of the dangers of negative thinking is how easy it makes it to lose sight of all the good that happens in our lives. Tracking gratitudes – even the ones that seem so minor – is an excellent way to keep sight of all that we have to be thankful for. Whether it’s the smile of a child or the kindness of a stranger, writing gratitudes in your Recovery Planner can help you keep a healthy perspective and realize all that there is to appreciate in life.
