My sobriety journey is still very fresh, about a month. I downloaded this app along with other similar apps before I decided to become sober but initially I had no interest in checking it out. I was able to shift my focus to other areas of my life at first and rarely had intrusive thoughts about alcohol until a week ago. Attempting to change other habits in my life like shutting the tv off at a specific time each night etc, getting into bed earlier made me restless and uneasy. Thoughts about drinking filled my mind so I decided to open this app up and give it a try. I started with 2 of the 3ish minute guided meditations on there laying in bed and was so relieved that I could feel my nagging thoughts go away for the time being. Since then I play a guided meditation before bed to shift my focus back to what really matters in my life, being present and alive. Looking forward to the longer meditations on this app and AA recordings when I have great mental capacity. Taking this all one day at a time and this app is a great addition to it all!
There could be a lot more to it, but it’s basically the book etc. it’s great to have to read literature during a meeting or listen to in the car. The joe and Charlie tapes are lower quality recording, but I heard something about an update in the past month. It keeps track of my clean tube, has the daily devotion. Not really anything related to being that I’m aware of, but I have the chair meeting guide app for that. Summary: it’s a great addition to my recovery. Helpful tool. ❤️
Realize that I am powerless over my qualifiers drinking. I can seek help and work the one step that I can. The ALANON family has been truly a guiding light out of the darkness. The kindness, understanding and encouragement that ALANON has given to me allows me to feel a part of a family. I am happy that I found ALANON and have a vehicle and maps app on my phone to get to meetings early. I am happy that there are meetings where I feel welcomed and loved for who I am. I love to take care of me. Thanks, I’m Nancy
Love the app but lost ability to use many meditations
Hello! I have had this app for like three years I think and I use it almost every day but I cannot use/download/hear most of the options on the app. I bought the full package back then and the only ones that work are ones I downloaded a while back. Maybe the app needs a full update? Looks like it has been 2 years since there has been one? I just get very frustrated that there are so many titles when I search that look amazing, but I cannot access them. Thanks! Hopefully you guys can get it figured out or let me know if there is something I need to do on my end? Bailey
I absolutely love the incredible library of speaker tapes in this app!! Also, I recently had a problem with audio not loading (it was a super simple fix - just needed to refresh the audio), so I emailed them and didn’t expect to hear back anytime soon. I heard back only a few hours later with three possible solutions for my problem. Awesome app and awesome customer service!!
Two days of meditation I am extremely grateful for my sobriety. That my sobriety I would I found these apps to start my day to give me the piece. I need to continue to be grateful. I’ve started two day with meditation using this app. It absolutely has been changing my mindset of how I start my day. Much more relaxed. I’m grateful for all that I have.
I love the guided meditations. They are extremely helpful and make me very aware. Sometimes I don’t get to listen to the whole thing because I fall asleep. If you’re having trouble sleeping, I recommend downloading this app. I do love to listen to the meditations I’m new to this, so I’m still learning, but this app is very helpful I highly recommend.
I absolutely love this app. Anytime I need a meeting. I can just listen to one of the speakers. If I want it gain some more knowledge about one of the programs I can find it here. I can learn how to meditate as well. This app has been an additional tool for my toolbox that I am enjoyingand I believe is adding positive results to my recovery.
Meditation music plays while listening to the big book reading
I think it’s awesome every time I listen to the big book over and over I can select a different medication music. It gives change to concentration but the reading and words stay the same. Maybe a couple of readers can be added. Tranquility reading.
I have to write a review after I received amazing customer service when I ran into an issue with my subscription. I love this app, I have always had trouble meditating but this app has so many easy to use guided mediations and has really help my meditation journey in my program. Nothing but good reviews here!
None of these audios will load up or play at, what so ever.
I’ve went down each and every guided meditation all the way through to all the 12 step speakers and or readings of the big book and or NA book. Yet, I still am unable to get ANY of them to play. It’s unfortunate, because I could see them being really helpful and beneficial for me. However, I will be forced to delete this app in it’s entirety. Unless I can somehow manage to get these single audio clips to play. Which I highly doubt will just magically begin playing and functioning properly out of nowhere . Js
This is hands down the best app for everything AAA. The readings and meditations are everything you need. The free meditations are all you need but it’s definitely worth buying the lifetime subscription. I use this app multiple times a day and it’s definitely helped me with my recovery.
My morning routine has been a little hectic! I find my yearning to just BE answered when I use this app for short time or longer times! Pure quietness! Listening to the healthy voice from within!
I have a number of meditation apps but this is the only one that is recovery oriented. I’m really enjoying the guided meditations. There are different people who lead different ones and the variety of voices and themes is really good. I haven’t paid for any content yet but expect to soon.
There are so many options with this app. I use it daily and can always find some meditation that fits my feelings. It is quick yet effective. The audio of the twelve steps is excellent as well. Glad I found this app.
But where is the sleep timer to shut it off? That I miss 100%. Please bring it back! I’ve been using it for a many years now and it helps me and my Kid to sleep better!!
Impressive selection of guided meditations, 12 Step talks, and peaceful music & soundscapes. There is enough free content to last for a long time. Best of all, the content is not interrupted to promote paid subscriptions or anything else.
This App is full of everything I need for my Recovery Tool Box! My sincere thanks to the person who created this. It’s an amazing gift to share with those of us working the program of recovery. Thank you!
This is by far the best recovery app I’ve ever used. It has everything I need! I wish I knew about this app when I first got sober over 10 years ago. I appreciate the time and effort that the makers of this app put into making perfect content. It’s priceless!
This app is wonderful. If you are in a 12 step program, this app is for you. It’s geared towards AA and ALANON members and gives you options to either read OR listen to Books and Joe and Charley!
I have only used this app a couple of times in recovery so far but I am very pleased with what it has to offer and am adding it to my daily routine for sure!
Just starting to use this App. I have been doing meditation for years on my on and thought it would be refreshing to try something new. I will continue to give feedback.
This is probably one of my favorite apps, its the only one that gets used the most. It has everything that I look for in guided or music meditations. It seriously keeps me sane on a daily basis.
The stories are great to listen to also the mediation part is a very helpful way to take your mind off of what ever it is that is bothering you. Wonderful APP!
This app has great music, good 12 step talks, but some stuff is a little out there and not at all compatible with 12 step work--such as communing with the dead! If they stuck to 12 steps and music/meditations that helped the listener "improve his conscious contact with God as he understands God" it would be a lot more useful!
I like the availability of speaker recordings but the app is outdated. It only has one playlist and doesn’t keep track of whether I’ve listened to a given recording or not - I must do that manually.
So far I really like this app. In particular I like the relaxing sounds, the guided meditations, and the American Indian flute music by R. Carlos Nakai. The daily inspiration has not changed since I got the app...I would like to get something fresh each day. Thank you!
If you are in Recovery and are praying and meditating then do yourself the favor and download this app. Be well and love to you and everything you love.
Since the COVID hit I have been listening since going to a meeting is limited. I am a Counselor so I share the messages with clients as well thank you.
Our literature tells us to meet god and it is best in the morning, this reading is the first part of my conscience contact, luck for me and those around me.
This is a good app. It needs longer meditation options and sometimes locks you out of your subscription snd has to be reinstalled. The meditations end too abruptly, like they were just samples. When it works, it's good.
So helpful for anyone in Recovery!!! Best 12 step app hands down well worth the lifetime membership fee! Unlimited pays for itself by far. Friend of Bill W. Thanks
