Choose the page you need

You do not need to finish every resource. Pick one topic, use one page and leave the rest. These are optional self help tools, not treatment, a clinical assessment or a detox plan.

The Sober-Curious Starter

Questions about your relationship with alcohol, words for social situations and space for reflection. Read the printable starter or open its phone form. If you may be physically dependent on alcohol, speak to a GP or alcohol service before reducing or stopping.

The One-Day Reset

A daily check in, support plan and reflection sheets. No score or streak to chase. Read the printable reset or open its phone form.

After Prison: First Steps

A starting checklist for practical conversations about housing, healthcare, support and everyday life. Read the printable checklist or open its phone form. See the life after prison guide for a gentle starting exercise.

The Everyday HOW

Original exercises around honesty, open mindedness and willingness, with a daily worksheet. Asking for help counts as action. Read the printable HOW guide or open its phone form. You can also try HOW on the website.

Seven day learning journal sampler

Try 16 A5 pages from the One Day At A Time journal, including guidance, seven daily pages and a review. Dates and tracking are optional. Read the printable sampler or open its phone form. The full six month journal is an optional paid product, not a requirement for using any free resource.

Read, type or print

For a phone form, use a PDF reader that supports fillable fields. Save a copy, close it and reopen it to check that your answers remain. The printable editions can be annotated in a compatible app or printed at actual size. PDF form support and accessibility vary between readers.

Your saved answers are in your file, not submitted to this hub. Other people with access to your device or backups may be able to read them. Read the privacy information. If a PDF does not work for you, use the screen friendly learning hub or private writing prompts instead.

No payment needed for support

Our support links and urgent help information remain freely accessible. The optional £5 link supports this independent project. It is not a charitable donation and does not unlock these pages.
