Trillium - Direct Connect for Recovery

A sense of community is a powerful tool for individuals in recovery. It provides accountability but also a sense of purpose. However, this doesn't have to only mean in-person interactions. Mobile apps like "I Am Sober" can be another option to consider. I Am Sober is more than just a free sobriety counter app.

Along with tracking your sober days, it helps you build new habits and provides ongoing motivation by connecting you to a wide network of people all striving for the same goal: staying sober one day at a time.
