Recovery Birthdays

For a person in recovery, their Sobriety date, Clean date or Abstinence date is just as important, and often more important than their 'belly button' birthday.

Recovery Birthdays is a contacts manager that syncs easily with your contacts, easily allows you to add and manage your friends recovery birthdays and sends you notifications before and on your friends anniversaries. 

Your data never leaves your device. One of the main priorities I had when creating this app was the privacy of the users and their contacts. No data collected. Not third party servers. No sharing of your data with anyone. Recovery Birthdays does not collect information of any kind from its users. Recovery Birthdays stores locally in the app only a contact name, date for an anniversary of the recovery birthday and a single image for the contact. Recovery Birthdays does not store or share your contacts other information such as, phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses, contact notes, birthday, job or relations. 

When we were drinking and using we had "dropped out". Never sending cards, returning phone calls, being there for other people or taking part in their lives. Only through positive action can we remove the remains of guilt and shame brought on by our disconnection from others. Because of God's grace, we have been given a second chance at life and the opportunity to change the future. 

Be a part of the fellowship that is being freely offered to you and take part in others lives by remembering their recovery birthdays! Bring them a cake, write them a card, give them a call or send them a text message. It is only through giving that we truly receive. They will be most grateful you remembered.

*Configure notifications for the day of the recovery anniversary and a day before the anniversary.
