The Lighthouse Recovery Services: Daily Journal was designed to be with you and help you along the path that leads to recovery.  It is intended to supplement and augment professional counseling and twelve-step support group services and includes three proven practices in the recovery process: daily affirmations, journal writing, and thoughtful reflection.

DAILY AFFIRMATION
Reading a positive affirmation on a consistent basis can be a powerful tool on the road to recovery.  Over time it becomes more than just a daily reading; it becomes a part of you.  It becomes something you believe and know to be true at the very center of your being.  Reading it every day is just the beginning of this process.

JOURNAL WRITING
Journal writing, the consistent act of writing your deepest feelings and thoughts down on paper with fearless honesty, is another powerful and proven tool on the road to recovery.  Journaling is a grounding and fortifying exercise that can prove critical to the day-to-day struggle and an enlightening experience that can prove essential to long-term recovery.  

THOUGHTFUL REFLECTION
Addictions grow from deep, sometimes hidden, thoughts and feelings.  Thoughtful reflection on inspired quotes can tap you into these thoughts and feelings and can open your mind to God’s will for you.  Also, reading and reflecting on these quotes and scriptures on a daily basis can help address the “dis-ease” that is central to addiction by bringing peace to the soul and hope to the mind.

Other Recovery Resources
In addition to day-to-day journaling, we’ve included three additional sections that should prove useful during the recovery process.  First, we’ve included pages that provide guidance and space for the completion of a moral inventory for those participating in a twelve step program.  Second, we’ve included a section that helps you document those individuals that may have been affected or hurt by the addiction.  Again, this is for those participating in a twelve step program.  Third, we’ve also included a section that you can populate with the names and contact information of those individuals you can call out to for support during recovery.
Quotes

“One of the keys of my ongoing recovery from addiction was taking time each day to identify my emotions and write about them.  The Daily Journal put together by Lighthouse Recovery Services--which includes a daily emotional inventory section and an optional prompt which I used when I didn’t know how to get started--was a huge help.”
