A look inside the journal

One real day from the Recovery Journal

Every day has two pages — a morning check-in and an evening reflection. This is Day 1, exactly as it appears inside. Ninety days of pages built to keep you honest, not to make you feel good.

Day 1

“You do not close the gap in one leap. You close it 14 minutes at a time.”

Morning check-in
Wake-up time:
Hours of sleep:
Exercise:
Water:

HALT check — circle any: Hungry · Angry · Lonely · Tired

Did you make the 14-Minute Trade? Yes No

What was your trade?
Set your intention

One thing I can face with strength today:

Someone who needs me present today:

A situation that could trip me up and how I will handle it:

Mirror question

If you died tomorrow and someone read your phone, your browser history, and your journal, what story would those three things tell about who you really were?

Day 1 (Evening)
Evening reflection

What happened today that matters? Not what was easy. What was real.

One win from today:

One thing to improve tomorrow:

Daily scorecard

Rate yourself 1–5. Be honest. 1 = did not show up · 5 = showed up fully.

TRADE — Did I follow through on my commitment today?
PRESENCE — Was I fully here with the people who matter?
HONESTY — Did I tell the truth, especially to myself?
DIRECTION — Did my actions move me toward who I am becoming?

Who was I today when no one was watching?

This is one of ninety days. The book gives you the framework; the journal turns it into daily, trackable practice.
