 INTRODUCTION TO SOBRIETY
COUNTERS
• JUST LIKE MARKING A DATE ON THE CALENDAR, A SOBRIETY COUNTER
GIVES A CLEAR VISUAL OF HOW LONG YOU HAVE BEEN SOBER. FOR SOME,
SEEING THE NUMBER HELPS THEM REALIZE HOW FAR THEY HAVE COME,
WHILE OTHERS USE IT AS A MILESTONE MARKER FOR LITTLE STEPS ALONG
THE WAY.
• IT IS NO SECRET THAT FINDING A PATH TOWARDS SOBRIETY CAN BE
DIFFICULT. THERE WILL BE DAYS THAT ARE MORE CHALLENGING THAN
OTHERS, EVEN WHEN YOU ARE SURROUNDED BY A STRONG COMMUNITY
THAT SUPPORTS YOU. IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT ADDICTION IS
NOT A CHOICE OR A MARK OF WHO YOU ARE, IT IS A DISEASE THAT AFFECTS
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE A YEAR.
 THE CHALLENGE OF ACHIEVING
SOBRIETY
• ALCOHOL USE DISORDER AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER HAVE A RANGE
OF SYMPTOMS THAT CAN CAUSE CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS ALONGSIDE IT.
A SOBRIETY CALCULATOR APP IS ONE STEP TOWARDS RECOGNIZING WHERE
YOU WANT TO BE IN YOUR RECOVERY AND HOW YOU CAN CREATE
SMALLER MILESTONES TO REACH A LEVEL OF SOBRIETY YOU ARE
COMFORTABLE WITH AND IS THE BEST FOR YOUR PERSONAL HEALTH.
• MANY SOBER APPS OUT THERE GIVE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES THAT ARE
BEYOND THE BASIC CAPABILITY OF A SOBER CLOCK. BY PAIRING SERVICES
WITH YOUR OWN CREATED SOBER CLOCKS, YOU CAN FEEL CONFIDENT TO
START THE DAY OFF ON THE RIGHT FOOT.
 UNDERSTANDING ADDICTION AS A
DISEASE
• IN THIS GUIDE, FIND OUT MORE ABOUT SOBRIETY TRACKING APP AND HOW YOU CAN TRACK
YOUR SOBER JOURNEY WITH ASSURANCE AT EVERY STEP.
DOWNLOAD A SOBRIETY TRACKER THAT WORKS FOR YOU
• LEARNING HOW TO GET SOBER IS NOT A STRAIGHTFORWARD PROCESS, BUT IT CAN START BY
DOWNLOADING THE RIGHT SOBRIETY TRACKER FOR YOU. EACH SOBRIETY COUNTER APP
AVAILABLE ONLINE HAS A DIFFERENT DESIGN AND PURPOSE TO IT. WHILE SOME APPS PROVIDE
A BASIC TRACKER, OTHER APPS GIVE SPACE FOR NOTES, PLEDGES, OR THE ABILITY TO SHARE
YOUR CLOCKS WITH FRIENDS.
• HOW YOU WANT TO INTERACT WITH A SOBER CLOCK IS ENTIRELY UP TO YOU. SOME APPS LIKE
NOMO WILL GIVE A TIMESTAMP FOR EACH TIME YOU OPEN THE APP TO VIEW YOUR CLOCKS.
THE TIMESTAMP KEEPS TRACK OF YOUR ACTIVITY IN ORDER TO PROMPT YOU TO VIEW THE
CLOCK IF NEED BE. OTHER SOBRIETY TRACKERS LIKE SOBRIETY COUNTER GIVE YOU
MILESTONE ACHIEVEMENTS THROUGH BADGES THAT CAN BE COLLECTED OVER TIME.
 BENEFITS OF USING A SOBRIETY

SOBER DATES, THEN CONSIDER DOWNLOADING AN APP THAT GIVES
NOTIFICATIONS FOR ACHIEVEMENTS. BEYOND APPS THAT PROVIDE

SERVICES TO ASSIST WITH RECOVERY.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT SOBRIETY TRACKER
FOR YOU
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
THE MAIN PURPOSE OF A SOBRIETY CALENDAR APP IS TO TRACK YOUR PROGRESS.
STATISTICS SHOW THAT IT CAN TAKE AROUND THREE TO FOUR WEEKS TO DEVELOP A
NEW HABIT. THAT MEANS JUST STARTING OUT USING A CLOCK MAY FEEL LIKE A
DIFFICULT TASK AT FIRST, BUT BY SEEING A VISUAL OF THE PROGRESS YOU HAVE
MADE YOU CAN FIND CONFIDENCE IN THE STEPS YOU ARE TAKING TO GET SOBER.
SOMETIMES IT MAY TAKE A SMALL REMINDER OF HOW FAR YOU HAVE COME. SOME
FREE SOBRIETY APP COUNTERS INCLUDE WAYS TO WRITE DOWN THE REASONS WHY
YOU BECAME SOBER. FROM THE APP YOU CAN LOOK AT PAST NOTES, UPLOADED
PICTURES, OR A LIST OF REASONS TO KEEP YOURSELF ON TRACK.
POPULAR SOBRIETY TRACKING APPS

IT MAY BE HARD TO REMEMBER IN THE MOMENT WHEN YOU ARE

EXPERIENCING A TRIGGER OR CRAVING, BUT A NOTIFICATION TO YOUR
PHONE TO REMIND YOU TO VIEW YOUR SOBRIETY CLOCK CAN BE WHAT
CONTINUALLY BREAKS THE CYCLE WHEN YOU NEED IT TO.
KNOW WHEN TO COUNT
USING A SOBRIETY COUNTER CAN BE HELPFUL WHEN IT PROVIDES A SENSE
OF ACHIEVEMENT, BUT THERE ARE CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE COUNTING MAY
HINDER YOU. IF A RELAPSE HAPPENS AND YOU FIND YOURSELF IN FEAR OF
HUMILIATION OR ARE BASING YOUR WORTH ON THE SOBRIETY CLOCK, THEN
IT MAY NOT BE THE BEST DECISION TO BE TRACKING SOBER DATING APP.
TRACKING AND VISUALIZING YOUR
PROGRESS
HOWEVER, SOBRIETY CLOCKS CAN BE A USEFUL TOOL WHEN YOU APPROACH
IT AS A SHARED ENCOURAGEMENT AND A PERSONAL MOTIVATION. IF YOU ARE
HAVING TROUBLE WITH HOW YOU INTERACT WITH A SOBRIETY COUNTER,
TALK TO YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER, COUNSELOR, OR SPONSOR TO SEE IF IT
IS THE RIGHT APPROACH FOR YOUR RECOVERY JOURNEY -
DATING SITES FOR SOBER SINGLES.
MAKE NEW MILESTONES
MAKING NEW MILESTONES IS A HUGE ACHIEVEMENT WHEN CREATING NEW
POSITIVE HABITS. A SOBRIETY COUNTER GIVES YOU THE SPACE TO CREATE
NEW MILESTONES FOR YOURSELF FOR SOBRIETY, AND OTHER GOALS YOU
WANT TO ACHIEVE.
SETTING AND CELEBRATING MILESTONES

NEW MILESTONES CAN ALSO HELP WITH AVOIDING INSTANT GRATIFICATION NEEDS OR
WANTING TO MAKE EXCEPTIONS FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS. BY KNOWING WHAT YOUR
GOALS SPECIFICALLY ARE, YOU CAN KEEP TO THEM MORE OFTEN AA DATING.
MOST SOBER APPS WILL SHOW A PROGRESS BAR TO SHOWCASE YOUR MILESTONES, AS
WELL AS HOW MANY HOURS, DAYS, WEEKS, AND MONTHS YOU HAVE BEEN SOBER. WITH
A QUICK CHECK, YOU CAN SEE HOW FAR YOU HAVE MADE IT IN THE WEEK. EACH
MILESTONE ACHIEVED REINFORCES MORE MOTIVATION TO STICK TO YOUR LONG TERM
GOALS.
NOT ONLY CAN SOBER APPS TRACK MILESTONES, BUT THEY ALSO CAN SEE HOW MUCH
MONEY YOU HAVE SAVED BY NOT DRINKING. IT MAY BE STARTLING AT FIRST TO SEE
HOW MUCH YOU HAVE SPENT ON ALCOHOL OVER TIME, PARTICULARLY IF YOU WERE
BUYING DRINKS EVERY DAY BEFORE.
CUSTOMIZING YOUR SOBRIETY TRACKING
EXPERIENCE
SEEING A PICTURE OF WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE SPENT PUTS ADDICTION INTO
PERSPECTIVE AND HOW MONEY CAN BE CHANNELED TOWARDS A LIFE OUTSIDE
OF ADDICTION THAT YOU WANT TO BE LIVING. IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE JUST
STARTING OUT ON YOUR SOBER DATING SERVICE JOURNEY, CONSIDER
CONTACTING YOUR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL OR A LOCAL TREATMENT
CENTER TO FIND THE RIGHT RESOURCES TO GET YOU ON YOUR FEET.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR EXPERIENCE
THE FUN PART ABOUT DOWNLOADING A SOBRIETY COUNTER IS THE ABILITY TO
CUSTOMIZE YOUR EXPERIENCE. SOME APPS HAVE A SET BACKGROUND, BUT
THERE ARE A FEW ON THE MARKET THAT GIVES YOU THE ABILITY TO CHANGE THE
BACKGROUND, THE COLOR, OR THE STYLE OF THE CLOCK.
UTILIZING NOTES AND JOURNALS FOR
REFLECTION
WHILE APPS CREATED ARE GENERALLY MADE WITH CALMER COLORS, YOU
MAY FIND YOU RESPOND TO CERTAIN COLORS BETTER. WITH THE RIGHT
BACKGROUND COLOR AND STYLE OF THE CLOCK, YOU CAN FEEL CALM
WHEN CHECKING YOUR SOBRIETY DATE AND ANY OTHER MILESTONES
YOU HAVE SET FOR YOURSELF ALONG THE WAY – SOBER DATING SITES.
CUSTOMIZING YOUR EXPERIENCE CAN ALSO HELP WITH VISUALIZING
YOUR SOBER EXPERIENCE BETTER. BY VIEWING YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS OR
CHATTING ABOUT THEM WITH OTHER MEMBERS ON THE APP, YOU CAN
FEEL ASSURED EVEN ON THE WORST OF DAYS WHEN BATTLING
UNCERTAINTY WITH ADDICTION.
SHARING YOUR JOURNEY WITH LOVED ONES

KEEP TRACK OF OTHER ADDICTIONS OR HABITS

A SOBRIETY COUNTER DOES NOT JUST HAVE TO BE SPECIFICALLY FOR ALCOHOL.
SOBRIETY COUNTERS CAN INCLUDE OTHER ADDICTIONS OR HABITS THAT YOU
ARE LOOKING TO BREAK. BY SEEING YOUR HABITS ALL IN ONE PLACE, YOU CAN
SEE WHAT MILESTONES YOU WANT TO CHANGE ALONG THE WAY, OR WHAT NEW
GOALS YOU WANT TO SET FOR YOURSELF.
APPS LIKE NOMO GIVE YOU AN UNLIMITED AMOUNT OF CLOCKS THAT YOU CAN
NAME. OTHER APPS LIKE I AM SOBER INCLUDE CATEGORY-SPECIFIC CLOCKS THAT
CAN BE SEARCHED EASILY WHILE NAVIGATING THE APP. WRITE DOWN WHAT
ADDICTIONS OR HABITS YOU ARE LOOKING TO CHANGE YOUR PATTERNS AROUND
AND CREATE MORE CLOCKS EASILY WITHIN AN APP – SOBER DATING WEBSITES.
BUILDING NEW HABITS FOR LONG-TERM
SOBRIETY
LOOK BACK ON YOUR NOTES
WITH MOST ASPECTS OF LIVING BEING ORGANIZED ON YOUR PHONE, A SOBER APP
HELPS YOU LOG AND LOOK BACK ON NOTES WHEN YOU NEED TO. KEEP IN MIND, NOT
ALL SOBER APPS GIVE THE SPACE FOR NOTES, OR THE ABILITY TO SEARCH WITHIN YOUR
NOTES. MAKE SURE THE APP YOU DOWNLOAD INCLUDES NOTE-TAKING ABILITY TO
KEEP A CLOSER RECORD OF YOUR SOBER JOURNEY.
NOTES ARE A WAY TO NAVIGATE YOUR EMOTIONS, UNDERSTAND YOUR ADDICTIONS,
AND GIVE A PRIVATE SPACE FOR YOU TO LEARN MORE ABOUT YOURSELF. SOME
SOBRIETY APPS OFFER DAILY CHECK-INS FOR YOU TO LOG HOW YOU ARE FEELING OR
WHAT YOU FELT YOU STRUGGLED WITH DURING THE DAY. BY HAVING AN ACCURATE
RECORD OF TRIGGERS OR POTENTIAL RELAPSES, YOU CAN LEARN YOUR PATTERNS
MORE IN ORDER TO CHANGE YOUR HABITS FOR THE LONG TERM.
ENGAGING WITH A SUPPORTIVE SOBER
COMMUNITY
IF DIGITAL NOTES ARE NOT YOUR FAVORITE WAY OF LOGGING YOUR FEELINGS,
CONSIDER FINDING A PAPER JOURNAL OR NOTEBOOK TO WRITE IN. WHETHER
YOU WANT TO SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES ONLINE WITH OTHER LIKE-MINDED
INDIVIDUALS OR WANT TO REFLECT ON YOUR PROGRESS ON YOUR OWN TIME,
KEEPING A LOG CAN HELP YOU FIND CLARITY IN RECOVERY.
SHARE PROGRESS WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY
A SOBRIETY COUNTER IS ONE WAY YOU CAN SHARE YOUR PROGRESS WITH
FRIENDS, FAMILY, SPONSORS, OR HEALTH PROVIDERS. YOUR COMMUNITY
WANTS TO KNOW HOW YOU ARE DOING, WHICH MAKES A SOBRIETY APP THE
PERFECT PLACE FOR YOU TO BRING THEM ALONG IN YOUR JOURNEY TOWARDS
SOBRIETY.
