OpenRecovery

I’ve spent more than 15 years trying to find a therapist that gets the connection between ADHD and disordered eating - without success. Kai gets it! I spent 20 minutes answering the questions and explaining my personal situation and Kai connected all the dots. I also do SMART Recovery and this app supports that (as well as other recovery programs). I tried the app thinking it might work as an accountability buddy but I’m getting so much more out of it. And it’s truly free - no in-app purchases. I’m confident Kai is going to be an important partner in my recovery.

I was pretty skeptical that an app could supplement a regimen of in connection for recovery. In fact does not replace, but rather enhance what I get out of phone calls and meetings. I can now do step work and review all aspects of my recovery between meetings and between phone calls. I also can supplement step work at any time. One of the best tools for me and my sponsor is the accountability feature for daily sobriety tasks. Instead of messaging him separately, I can just use the app consistently to supplement our calls and meetings.

I chose this app because it was free! To my astonishment, it is the best tool I have ever used. I started my steps again having been through them before both in AA and OA, while I’ve been in other 12 step programs, these two emphasized doing the steps for recovery. The thoroughness of Kai in working the steps has me seeking deeper into my recovery process than ever before. I also find the 10th step daily inventory of special help the way it has been put together. I have not yet explored the sharing process within the app, but plan to expand into using it. Thanks.
