Recommend for anyone who struggles
Best journal ever! A page for every day, plus beginning section of the book is very helpful. Discreet cover. Very very pleased with my purchase.

Cross Between a Sobriety Journal and Planner
I ordered this journal for my daughter, she is a recovering addict. She’s relapsed several times, but is doing so much better now than she was in the beginning. This journal is perfect for her, she’s a single mother with 2 children and does not have a lot of time to read or do anything requiring a lot of study time. This journal is really whatever you want to make of it, you can spend a few minutes on it one day if that’s what you have, or really give some thought to it and spend more time. It’s large and has lots of room for writing. In the front are several pages of guidance and resources. Each of the three chapters after those pages are geared towards discovering why you do what you do, and how to avoid those triggers and build your self esteem, gratitude, etc. Then starts a section to log daily schedules and thoughts, with a week end review and planning for goals for the next week. Several lined pages in the back for more copious notes. I love the 3 bookmarks to enable the user to quickly flip to the section they want. Elastic band to keep the book closed, and an elastic loop for a pen. Really nice stickers to add interest. Anyone who saw this would never know it’s a journal, it looks like a beautiful leather notebook.

Any Addiction Recovery Notebook
I ordered this not for alcohol addiction, but sugar and food addiction recovery. I wasn’t sure if it would adapt to other addictions than alcohol or drug, but it absolutely can. Keep in mind, if you do use this for other addiction recovery, this book is designed for alcoholic anonymous and therefore most references and phrasing are designed for such. Easy enough to substitute your addiction (shopping, food, gambling, etc) in lieu of alcohol in most instances and bypass others.This is a very nice quality, durable notebook. The cover is hard and it has an elastic strap to bind it. It also has three ribbons for dividers and a pocket in the back. I like that the ribbons are different, easily distinguishable colors for easy access to specific sections. The pages are smooth and have a nice weight to them. Most pens and some good quality marking pens (like Tombow) do very nicely without bleed through or shadowing.I included some pictures of the pages and layout for your perusal. One thing I really like is how each daily page has different questions for reflection at the end of the day. This helps dig deeper and eliminate boredom or answering by rote. Overall, I highly recommend this journal for any addiction recovery and potentially caretakers or loved ones of the addicted person.

Lovely. Works for addressing other unwanted behavioral patterns too
Recovery journal is meant for alcohol addiction. However, I’m using this more just to break undesirable and unhealthy habits in general. The front pages have contact information specific to alcohol addiction recovery; even if you plan to use this journal for other addictions, it’s not like you’re at a loss as a) you are reading this review which b) presumes you must have Internet access and therefore can c) do a quick search for support groups specific to your needs. ;)Well made, looks and feels luxurious. Plenty of different reflection pages to help identify triggers and come up with ways to bypass the well strengthened neural circuits and form new behavioral and thought patterns. Also has pages that allow you to plan out your day with ways of guarding your sobriety in mind and then later on write down reflections. Cute, encouraging stickers in back.
