AI-generated personalized plans with weekly goals, coping strategies, and therapeutic exercises tailored to your check-in patterns.

A recovery plan turns the patterns you see on the progress page into specific weekly action. The planner uses your check-in data, the addiction profile from onboarding, and the focus areas you pick.

Generating a plan

Open Recovery Plan

From the dashboard sidebar.

Pick focus areas

Multi-select from a curated list, e.g.:

  • Trigger management
  • Emotional regulation
  • Building healthy habits
  • Repairing relationships
  • Building a recovery community

Pick 1–3. More than that and the plan dilutes.

Click 'Generate plan'

Generation takes 5–15 seconds. The planner reads your check-in history (last 90 days for free, full history for Premium), your onboarding answers, and the focus areas you chose.

Review and refine

The first draft is a starting point. Adjust weekly goals, swap in different coping strategies, or regenerate the whole plan if it's off-base.

What's in a plan

Weekly goals

Specific, achievable goals organized by week. Each goal has a title, a one-paragraph description, and a category (habit, social, emotional, etc.). Example weekly goals:

  • "Talk to one person about your recovery this week."
  • "Replace one trigger-loaded routine with a new one of your choosing."
  • "Use the urge-surfing exercise the next time cravings spike."

Coping strategies

Techniques matched to your most-frequent triggers (pulled from your check-in data). Each strategy includes step-by-step instructions and when to use it. Examples:

  • Urge surfing for cravings that come in waves.
  • Behavioral activation for low-mood days.
  • Trigger desensitization for situations you can't avoid.

Therapeutic exercises

Activities pulled from CBT, DBT, and mindfulness frameworks. Each exercise has a duration estimate and a difficulty level so you can pick by available time and energy.

Viewing and tracking your plan

  • The active plan is shown with collapsible weekly sections.
  • Mark goals as In progress or Done as you work through them.
  • The plan auto-archives at the end of its duration; the next generation starts from your updated check-in data.
  • Past plans live in the archive — useful to look back on what was working when, and what wasn't.

Common pitfalls

Picking too many focus areas

Three is plenty. Five becomes a vague checklist; one is more productive than five.

Treating goals as required

The plan is a recommendation, not a sentence. Goals you can't meaningfully act on this week — skip or replace. The point is forward motion, not compliance.

Regenerating until you get the plan you 'want'

If the AI keeps surfacing the same hard goal, that's signal — not a glitch. The system is reading the same data each time. Sit with the recommendation before regenerating.
