- **Plan your escape**: Before urges hit, pre-decide your response—call a friend, go for a walk, hit the gym.
- **Celebrate small wins**: Each day sober is a win. Acknowledge it. Momentum compounds.
- **Connect with others**: Share your journey with people who understand. Vulnerability builds resilience.
- **All data stays local on your machine**: Your recovery is private. No cloud storage, no corporate tracking—complete confidentiality.
