Ride out a hard moment
Urges build, peak, and come back down on their own. A timer counts up while you wait one out, so there's no minimum to hit. Every second already counted.
Now on the App Store
Somewhere to turn when an urge hits. A timer that counts up while the wave passes, the plan you wrote while you were calm, and the people you trust one tap away. It counts your sober days too, and it never asks you to explain yourself.

What it does
Urges build, peak, and come back down on their own. A timer counts up while you wait one out, so there's no minimum to hit. Every second already counted.
Each urge you ride out, you note how strong it was and what you reached for. Insights reads it back: how far your waves usually fall, how long yours tend to take, and which of hungry, angry, lonely or tired keeps turning up. Any of it goes into your plan with one tap, and it waits until there's enough to be honest about.
A hard moment is the worst time to think clearly. Write down what you'll do and who you'll call today, and Not Beaten hands it straight back to you at 2am.
A bold day counter marks how far you've come, with a gentle nudge toward the next milestone.
There's one waiting on day one, and they keep coming long past your first year. They're yours forever, and a hard day never takes one away.
Some people are counting a month rather than counting from here on. Point the counter at a finish line, and take it away again whenever you like. Reaching it doesn't end anything: your day count carries straight on. A hard day never fails it either, the count just starts again.
Tell it roughly what a week used to cost, and Insights will show what the days add up to. Entirely optional, and if you'd rather not think about money it never appears at all.
Write three small things each day, plus whatever feelings you're carrying, and look back anytime.
A steadying line waiting for you each day, drawn from a built-in pack written for recovery.
A hard day happens. Log it kindly, keep your history, and tomorrow becomes Day 1 again.
Online meetings, hotlines, and trusted reading are one tap away for the moments that matter most.
An optional reminder to write your gratitudes. Ease it back or turn it off whenever you like.
Tone
Recovery isn't a straight line, and telling the truth about a hard day takes real strength.
This badge is yours forever, so be proud of it.
Tomorrow is Day 1. And you won't be doing it alone.
