Recovery resources for living life to the full
Hi, I’m Rob, a grateful recovering alcoholic and addict. I have benefited hugely from a 12 Step recovery programme, and now I’m working to share the experience, strength and hope I’ve gained. That includes producing resources to help others to live a life of contented sobriety.
Recovery journals
Just for Today: a daily recovery journal for 2025
A new page-a-day journal based on the well-known ‘Just for Today’ suggestions used in many recovery groups worldwide. Each day has two inspirational readings, and plenty of space for your own plans, reflections and gratitude list.
Start each day with one of the 9 suggestions from the Just for Today card. They will encourage you to connect with your higher power, realign your thoughts and plan positive actions. There are also short daily thoughts and extracts from the Bible, the source of the wisdom in the 12 step programme.
At the end of the day, pause to look back. Write your notes on what you’ve learned, how you’ve grown and what you’re grateful for. 2025 can be an amazing year for you. Let’s take it one day at a time.
90 in 90 Recovery Journal
A 90 day journal, with space to record what you identify with in today’s recovery meeting, details of other fellows to stay in touch with, and prompts to capture what you’re learning and include your gratitude list.
Experience in 12 Step programmes worldwide has shown that our first 90 days are crucial. This is a fertile time to establish new routines and put down new roots for a life of contented sobriety. There’s so much more than mere abstinence for us to enjoy.
The 90 in 90 Recovery Journal will help you get the most out of your first 90 meetings in 90 days.
Meditation cards

Plain Language Big Book audiobook
The Plain Language Big Book is a recently published tool to accompany the ‘Big Book’ of Alcoholics Anonymous. The book introduces the hope and experience of the millions of people who’ve found freedom from alcohol.
This is a UK English reading of the book by Rob M. Please buy the book itself – from Alcoholics Anonymous or on Kindle. There have been supply issues with the paperback, but it looks like AA are taking orders for when more are printed.

12 Step Resources
When working the 12 Steps, it can be helpful to pause at each one, reflect and answer some questions about what it means to you. This makes the step more personal to you. It also provides some notes you can refer back to in coming months as you deepen your spiritual growth in recovery.
The web forms below guide you through some helpful questions and will then email you a PDF to save. Your personal details are not stored anywhere and you won’t be contacted for anything else.

Do you need help with alcohol?
Is one drink never enough? Have you tried but failed to control your drinking? Do you find yourself thinking about drink throughout the day?
If so, you may be an alcoholic. Don’t worry – there is a solution that millions of people around the world have used.
My name is Rob. During 2020 I hit the lowest point of my life. I’d given up hoping that I would ever be able to stop drinking, and I was trapped in other compulsive addictions as well. I felt beaten and utterly alone. In desperation I went to a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous on Zoom. I had no real expectation that I’d fit in or that they really had anything that would help someone like me.
It’s now 4 years since I had a drink. I’ve never felt so much peace of mind. I don’t have any desire to have a drink, and I am living free of my other addictions. AA is an amazing, welcoming bunch of people who are connected all over the world. I can talk any time I like with people who totally understand the disease that nearly finished me off – and who never judge me. The 12 step recovery programme of AA has been life-changing for me, just as it has for millions of others. I’m proud now to be able to share some of the experience, strength and hope I have, including through making resources like the ones on this website.
You don’t have to suffer alone. You don’t have to drink today. You can live happy, joyous and free.
