Books and Journals
A guided journaling series designed for recovery, reflection, and personal growth. Each journal serves a different phase of the journey — from structure, to reflection, to deeper work, to practice.
The Work Series is part of the A Seat at the Table collection and carries a core belief: recovery does not have to be loud to be meaningful. Showing up matters. Small steps count. The work you’re doing, even when no one else sees it, matters deeply.
Structure → Reflection → Insight → Practice
An Orientation & Stabilization Companion for the First 30 Days of Inpatient Treatment
The Early Work is an orientation and stabilization companion designed specifically for the first 30 days of inpatient treatment. This stage of recovery is not about insight, processing, or long-term planning — it is about grounding, regulation, and learning how to stay.
Built for early treatment settings, The Early Work provides a simple, repeatable daily structure that helps individuals orient to the day, notice internal states, and set down what does not need to be carried forward. The layout is intentionally calm and non-demanding, supporting presence without pressure or emotional escalation.
Inside, you’ll find a consistent two-page daily rhythm:
Being Here Today, which focuses on orientation and awareness, and Setting It Down, which supports stabilization and closure at the end of the day. The language is clear, trauma-informed, and free of jargon, lectures, or forced reflection.
The Early Work is designed for environments where capacity may be limited and consistency matters more than insight. It is well-suited for individual use or clinician-supported reflection during the most vulnerable phase of treatment.
Best For:
Early treatment orientation + stabilization
Ideal Stage:
First 1–30 days of inpatient or residential treatment
Works Well In:
Inpatient programs, residential treatment, detox step-down, early stabilization settings
Purpose:
Supports grounding, nervous-system regulation, and the foundational skill of staying during the earliest phase of recovery
A Guided Journal for 90 in 90
The Daily Work is a 90-day meeting companion designed for the early months of recovery. Built around the classic “90 in 90” suggestion, it provides a structured space to reflect on meetings, notice patterns, track insights, and document personal growth.
Inside, you’ll find 90 daily reflection pages, weekly check-ins, and milestone letters at 30, 60, and 90 days. The layout is simple, clear, and recovery-friendly—free of jargon, lectures, or judgment.
Whether you are attending AA, NA, CMA, CA, Al-Anon, or other 12-step meetings, The Daily Work supports consistency, awareness, and engagement during the most formative phase of recovery. It is well-suited for sponsors, individuals, treatment programs, sober livings, and families supporting a loved one in early recovery.
Best For:
Early recovery + 90-in-90 structure
Ideal Stage:
First 30–90 days of recovery
Works Well In:
AA/NA/CA/Al-Anon, clinical groups, sober livings, treatment aftercare
Purpose:
Builds consistency, accountability, and daily reflection during the earliest phase of recovery
A Guided Reflection Journal for Recovery
Recovery often happens quietly in the moments when you choose honesty, show up for yourself, and keep going even when it feels hard. The Quiet Work was created for people in recovery who want a steady and supportive place to reflect without feeling overwhelmed or unsure of what to write.
This guided reflection journal is designed to remove the pressure of a blank page. Each section offers simple and thoughtful prompts that help you slow down, check in with yourself, and stay connected to your recovery one day at a time. You do not need to have the right words or be in a perfect headspace. The guidance is there to help you begin.
Inside, you’ll find prompts that encourage awareness, grounding, and progress at your own pace. There are no rules about how much to write and no expectations to meet—this journal supports consistency, honesty, and reflection even on the days when motivation is low or emotions feel heavy.
The Quiet Work is part of the A Seat at the Table collection and serves as a reminder that recovery does not have to be loud to be meaningful. Showing up matters. Small steps count. The work you are doing, even when no one else sees it, matters deeply.

Reflection work at any stage of recovery

Day 0–90: grounding + awareness
90–12 months: consistency + reflection
18 months+: emotional maintenance + continued growth
