Recovery is passed person to person. Work the 12 Steps helps sponsors and sponsees work the Twelve Steps together, track progress, celebrate milestones, and stay connected. It doesn't replace sponsorship. It helps support it. Sponsorship has always happened through phone calls, coffee, meetings, and one person helping another. Work the 12 Steps gives that relationship one private place to stay organized. FOR SPONSORS See your sponsees and their Step progress in one place. Suggested readings and actions for every Step, ready to make your own. Add assignments, follow meeting activity, and never miss a sobriety anniversary. FOR SPONSEES Work the Steps with your sponsor. Keep track of your progress, meetings, and milestones with your sponsor one tap away. MILESTONES Celebrate months and years of sobriety on the day that matters, for everyone in your circle. Add them straight to your calendar. LEGACY See the recovery relationships that connect sponsor to sponsee, and one generation of recovery to the next. RECOVERY FRIENDS Walk beside the people in your recovery. See their milestones, celebrate their anniversaries, and reach them in a tap. PRIVATE BY DESIGN First name and last initial. No public feed. No followers. No streaks. No advertising built around your recovery. Your recovery stays private. ALWAYS ABOUT PEOPLE The app doesn't do the Steps for you. It doesn't replace a sponsor. It helps two people stay connected while doing the work together. No ads. No tracking. Not a social network. The app disappears into the relationship.
