Recovery Tools for Friends and Families of Problem Drinkers.

My Recovery Toolkit (MRT) is an exciting new recovery tool for members of Al-Anon and Friends and Families of Problem Drinkers. It has a Journal that makes it easy to find time to write in your journal and clear your head. Just have access to an internet connection at home (computer) or on the go (mobile devices and tablets) and journal via typing.

It also has a Spot Check Inventory that allows you to quickly get rid of resentments when on the go and you can later add more detail via your computer because all data is securely synced to the cloud using the same security as banks!

Just because you're in recovery doesn't mean life will slow down. Instead it will move forward, and so must you. Often times moving forward means being on the constant go. In effect, this means that if you're using journaling as part of your recovery, then you don't have time to sit down and write your feelings out.

There’s another problem that arises with paper journaling: privacy. If you mistakenly leave your journal out, someone might "accidentally" read it. Although a journal is a private matter and it’s likely closed, people nowadays will still somehow invite themselves to opening your journal; thus, reading your private thoughts.

Oh, what scandals can occur from private information! It’s so good to know that both of these situations are avoidable – thanks to this MRT App!

FEATURES: • JOURNAL With the journal, you simply type in an entry. Whatever you want to express – anger, sadness, joy, etc. – do so with the assurance that your thoughts will remain private. This is because all data is encrypted; you’re the only person who will have access to it. If you want to add an extra sense of security for your own peace of mind, create a fictitious name.

Remember, however, that you're the only writer and reader in MRT’s journal. In addition, you can edit and delete entries at any time.

• SPOT CHECK INVENTORIES

  • With Spot Check Inventories, this is an opportunity to quickly express your resentment. When you're angry, you need to dispose this emotion fast so that it won’t eat at your soul throughout the remainder of the day.

• AL-ANON BIRTHDAY CALCULATOR

  • View the amount of time you've been in Al-Anon each time the app is opened

• ANONYMOUS ICON

  • To protect anonymity, the actual app icon does not show references to Al-Anon

• Available for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad!

How MRT Gives You Privacy

While MRT eliminates the possibility of losing your journal, it’s even better that it gives you something more priceless: privacy.

As mentioned earlier, all data is encrypted and password protected. Using the same security as banks, your data is transmitted over SSL.

So, go ahead, write whatever you're feeling. Whether you hate your spouse, feel attracted to someone else, tempted to slap your boss … whatever, just type in your journal without the fear of being discovered and judged.

Conclusion

Don't sacrifice journaling by not having time. And don't lose your privacy by having it invaded. Instead gain convenience and privacy while on the go with the My Recovery Toolkit App

User Reviews

Users praise the app as a portable, secure hub for daily journaling, prayers, and progress tracking across devices, with a favorable one-time price including updates. However, recurring issues include Al-Anon/Alateen content gaps, AA-centric material, difficult pattern review in the journal, stability and UI bugs, and pricing concerns. Improvements in Al-Anon content, UI reliability, and clearer value would address the main criticisms while preserving the positives.
Pros
  • Robust journaling and nightly inventory with guided questions to track feelings, progress, and gratitude.
  • Strong privacy features: password-protected access and encrypted journal.
  • Works across devices (phone, tablet, computer) as an all-in-one recovery tool.
  • One-time fee with lifetime updates and new features included.
  • Integrated inspirational content (prayers and daily readings) to support daily practice.
Cons
  • Al-Anon/Alateen content gaps: the app is AA-centric, lacks Alateen resources, and Al-Anon material isn’t clearly reflected.
  • Journal/inventory review is hard to scan across days; no easy side-by-side pattern view.
  • Stability and UI bugs: basic interface issues, journal can stop working, and occasional crashes.
  • Pricing/value concerns: some reviewers feel the price is too high or unclear, with complaints about multiple charges.
Recent reviews
No it doesn’t seem to be anything on her about Alateen even though it says there is. It seems more like AA than Al-Anon.Prayers are all AA prayers am I missing something? Trying to find an Al-Anon meeting for a teenager. Any help would be appreciated I’m in the Jacksonville area.. Thank you in advance.

i regret this purchase. the nightly inventories are a nightmare to look back on. i made entries every night for the last four months. if i want to review the information to compare, review my progress, i have to click day by day through to review. this makes it impossible to look for patterns in my behavior. i dont need a list of dates, i want to see my answers next to each other. i want to return the app, it's a waste of money to get the premium version.

I love this App! I start every morning with “On Awakening”, “Serenity Prayer” and “Third Step Prayer”. I use the journal every day. It is great to have a portable tool like this that I can take with my everywhere. It will be easy to take with me and use privately when I am camping with my friends this summer. Also, being able to have the added security of a password for entry and encryption of my journal has given me the extra security I need to journal freely and honestly - I don’t have to be concerned about anyone ever reading it! Thank you for this sobriety tool kit!!!
