Get Sober. Stay Sober. And Live an Amazing Life. “If you aren't in the moment, you are either looking forward to uncertainty, or back to pain and regret. I'm very serious about no alcohol, no drugs. Life is too beautiful.” – Jim Carrey Hi, My name is Michael and I am the heart and soul behind The Sober Journal. And I created this journal because I quickly found out (early in my recovery) that I needed to write things down. Because so many feelings, emotions and thoughts were flying at me all the time. Everything was new. I was learning about myself every day… And I couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed and confused with all the change that was happening around me. But when I looked online there wasn’t a single journal for those of us in recovery. I was shocked. And it was in that moment that I decided to make something special for the sobriety community – and help as many people recover (as possible) through journaling. I have poured my heart and soul into the Sober Journal and I hope it provides you a place to track and discover yourself throughout your recovery. And whether you are getting sober for the first time or already have ten years of sobriety under your belt – I hope journaling teaches you something new about yourself and inspires you to create the life you know in your heart you were meant to create. Your friend in sobriety, Michael

The best sober journal ever!!
This is an amazing journal for those in recovery.. It gives you enough space to journal but not so much you never feel like you accomplished anything. I love checking things off on a to do list grocery list and they have a box you can check off daily if you are sober... Love it.. The Sober Journal came within two days and was in perfect condition. No damage from shipping and it was super quick.. I am so excited to have gotten this journal and have already started writing in it! Thanks Michael for thinking up this journal it is life changing for me!

Five Stars
I didn't know what to expect when I ordered The Sober Journal. I just wanted to try something new. In times of struggle with my sobriety, finding motivation is difficult for me. I might start doing something like writing about it but get discouraged. The idea of starting each day with a positive thought is simple yet a strong reminder of why I am doing this. The format of this book is perfect for someone who wants to open up but feels pressured by "manuals", " recovery books", or constant "what to do". It is beautifully bound and easy to write in whenever you feel like it, no date or unforgiving structure. I even got a personal e-mail from the, miraculously, one man show that has put it all together, Michael. It was encouraging and the type of care that's hard to find.

Simple yet supportive and encouraging tool
Bought this for a friend and we flipped through the journal together to take a look....overall, happy with the product! It is a simple yet supportive means of helping people in recovery with tracking thoughts and progress. The journal is pretty basic (no color and not a lot of design), but the overall tone is very positive, including starting each day with an inspiring quote. Once purchased, I even received a heartfelt email from the founder who encourages you to introduce yourself and reach out with any questions. I thought this was a really nice touch that adds to the feeling that whoever purchases the journal has someone out there who truly supports them and/or their loved one.

SO HAPPY I bought this!
I ran across a picture of this journal on some other random website. I wasn't looking for a journal but as soon as I saw it, I knew I needed to buy it. It is solidly made, nice cover, and it stays open easily to the page you're writing on. I LOVE the way each page is laid out, setting you up for a positive start to the day, and ending with a simple question - did you stay sober or not? No condemnation, no judgement, just keeping track for yourself. Let me tell you, it feels GREAT to check that little box. And the free writing space is a great place to put down what worked for that day, what didn't work, what the challenges were, and to give yourself a little kudos for all the hard work you're doing.And unexpected and welcome surprise was that there are new sections at the beginning for jotting down some support sources, some reasons why you're working on sobriety at all, and my favorite - the habit tracker! Removing one habit from our lives is easier if we can replace it with a healthier one. And its another opportunity for satisfying box-checking.

Beautiful / Inconspicuous / Motivating
Having just recently started my recovery journey, I too struggled with a finding solid way to conveniently journal. This is not only beautifully bound, but lovely in the way it provides daily motivations.Thank you Michael for making this effort ! Anyone who is focused on recovery will find this a valuable tool for capturing those runny thoughts we all struggle with !

I love this!
I got this for my boyfriend for his birthday. He loves gifts like this more than any other gift because his sobriety is the most important thing in his life! Everyday is a struggle for him and things like this help remind him that he has people here that love him and care about him and that he has a reason to keep fighting. Thank you!

Perfect Daily Journal
I love this journal! It is easy to write more than one page and expand that day on to the following page. This was perfect when paired with the 30 Day Sobriety Solution book and will be great when the book is done to. It is high quality and well made. I take this thing back and forth and I'm not the most gentle with it and it has held up wonderfully. I like the elastic cord to hold it shut and the ribbon page marker. The "Positive Start" can easily be for today's goals too especially if you expand onto other pages. I like the checking the box on the bottom of the page and the quotes are nice too. Highly recommend.
