Created: August 12, 2026

Recovery Is About More Than Staying Sober

Real recovery is building a life you don't want to escape from. A life with meaning. Purpose. Connection. Growth. This workbook helps you define what that life looks like and how to build it.

Your Vision

One Year from Now

Imagine yourself one year sober/recovered. What does your day look like? Who are you spending time with? What are you doing? What are you proud of? How do you feel in your body?

Five Years from Now

The bigger picture. Health? Career? Relationships? Home? Contribution? What does a thriving life look like? Where are you? Who's with you? What are you doing?

Your Legacy

What do you want to be remembered for? How do you want to impact the world? What's your contribution? What will people say about you at the end of your life?

Goals That Matter

Health Goals

Physical and mental wellness. Sleep quality, fitness, nutrition, mental health, energy levels. What do you want to experience in your body?

Relationship Goals

Who do you want to be close to? Who do you need to repair relationships with? What kind of friends do you want? What kind of partner?

Career/Work Goals

What do you want to do? What work feels meaningful? What skills do you want to develop? What income do you need?

Purpose/Contribution Goals

How do you want to serve? What causes matter to you? How do you want to make the world better?
