Start each day with a reflection. Daily Reflection brings you the reading for today from Daily Reflections, the book of reflections written by A.A. members for A.A. members, with a reading for every day of the year. Made for people in Alcoholics Anonymous and other 12 step recovery programs, it is a quiet, simple daily reader for your morning meditation, a meeting, or a moment of calm during the day. WHAT'S INSIDE • Today's reading: open the app and the day's reflection is there. Browse to any other date of the year. • Sober time counter: set your sobriety date and see how long you've been sober, in days or in years, months and days. • Daily reminder: a notification at the time you choose, so you never miss a reading. • Secular readings: prefer an agnostic approach? Turn on Secular Readings in Settings to read from Beyond Belief: Agnostic Musings for 12 Step Life instead. • Share a reading with your sponsor, a sponsee or a friend. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Works offline: every reading is on your device. • No account, no sign-up, no ads. • No analytics or tracking. No data is collected or shared.
