If you are a newcomer walking into an AA meeting can seem like landing in a foreign country, where you don't know the language or customs of this new , scary and strange land. The Early Sobriety Companion was made by members of AA to give newcomers a head-start in acclimating to AA's recovery environment and feel more comfortable in those first few months that they are coming around.

It even has a detailed "AA to English" dictionary so that they can learn the AA lingo and know what everyone is talking about!

Most importantly, at the apps core is a Daily Checklist with just 6 simple things that if done each day will greatly increase your chances of getting and staying sober using AA's program. Its very simple and effective, and works if you work it.

The main menu is broken down into ABOUT and the 4 ACTION categories below:
