90 Readings in 90 Days
There's a saying in AA: "90 meetings in 90 days." This time-tested approach helps newcomers build a solid foundation in their recovery by immersing themselves in the program.
Our daily readings are designed to supplement — not replace — this practice. While you attend meetings, work with a sponsor, and engage with your recovery community, these readings provide an additional touchpoint with the core principles of recovery.
💡 Each reading takes just 5-10 minutes — perfect for your morning routine, a lunch break, or quiet reflection before bed.
Evidence-Based Modern Interpretation
While the Big Book's wisdom is timeless, we've enhanced each reading with modern clinical perspective. Our interpretations incorporate:
- Cognitive Behavioral Techniques — Identify and counter cognitive distortions that fuel addictive thinking
- Motivational Interviewing Principles — Build intrinsic motivation for lasting change
- Trauma-Informed Care — Recognize how past experiences shape present behaviors
- Mindfulness Practices — Stay grounded in the present moment
- Relapse Prevention Strategies — Build practical skills for maintaining sobriety
Each reading identifies the core principle being taught and explains which therapeutic techniques can help you internalize and apply that principle in your daily life.
🏆 Milestone Achievement Coins
