Twenty-Four Hours a Day Reviews

In early recover and well in, I experienced depression and anxiety. I now know many do. Reading this book every morning changes the chemistry in my brain, I am convinced. My great-grandsponser, my grandsponser, my sponser, my self, all my sponsees, have read and read this book daily. The positivity and perspective has forever changed my life and the life of millions of AA’s over the years...one day at a time. Bonus is the slow drip,drip,drip of explanation of AA life and living. I need it every day. Thanks for this book.

I have been reading this book for 24 years as a matter of fact since I have lost so much of my vision I just bought the book with large print. This book was written for anyone to read it’s not just for alcoholics it’s a book to help you understand and live a better life, and it is meant to be
read everyday for inspiration to live a better life. I take it every where I go

I have been using TwentyFourHoursaDay for more than two years, and I find it a valuable tool to use each morning to help me stay on track and get my mind straight to face each day’s challenges. I use parts of it to carry the message to my sponsees each day. I have used others but like this one best. I HIGHLY Recommend this daily devotion to anyone seeking to stay the course in one’s sobriety.

I would encourage anyone to explore other apps. The reflections seem highly subjective. I am tolerant and accepting of others beliefs, but to scorn actual modern theory and scientific knowledge is troublesome. Especially when most of us are trying to live a more truthful life. And struggle with a concept of a power greater than ourselves. Below is an actual “reflection” from the daily reflections:

“Some people find it hard to believe in a Power greater than themselves. But not to believe in such a Power forces us to atheism. It has been said that atheism is blind faith in the strange proposition that this universe originated in a cipher and aimlessly rushes nowhere. That’s practically impossible to believe.”

How is this helpful?

I’ve been reading the 24 Hour since 1978. Of course my book is a treasure with notations but sometimes those notations bring back sad memories. It is so wonderful to pick up my phone and right in front of my eyes find the daily reading, brand new and clear of memories and my own “wisdom”, from my beloved 24 hour book. Thank you Hazelden for making this possible.

Naturally, I love the instant access. What addict wouldn't? Sometime I get obsessed by my phone gadgets, but this gives me a choice to get some reading and meditation in when I'd otherwise just distract myself. I also share readings easily with my family on devices, because let's face it, they come out at family meals and such. Offering a recovery alternative in a sea of mindless apps and business that now follows us wherever we go.

Bad habits seem so easy to form while building good habits seems impossible sometimes. TwentyFourHoursaDay allows me to set a time when this pops up on my phone. I get a meditation / reading that pops up at 7am everyday. Going on five years without missing my suggested habit of morning prayer and meditation. TwentyFourHoursaDay was a big help!

I love TwentyFourHoursaDay and getting a new motivation each day just helps me get through the day. Nothing major on here except the daily reflections, but it is so worth it if you are struggling with addiction and want to feel great each day and motivated! I also enjoy that I can go back and look at past days as well!

TwentyFourHoursaDay has been essential to my recovery. It is always with me when the book is not. I have shared it with many others.

I would suggest adding a highlight feature to TwentyFourHoursaDay . I pick up on different things each time I read it. It would be nice to see those impactful statements year to year.

This book has been my constant companion for over 40 years of continuous sobriety. Although I have revised my morning meditations over the years, this little treasure remains in my top few “must reads”. In its pages — or on my cell phone — I always find inspiration to get me through another day. Thank you, Susan.

TwentyFourHoursaDay is amazing and a go to for me every morning. Let's face it, if your working your sobriety or just want some great insight, TwentyFourHoursaDay is a must have. The interface is easy to you and it even has a calendar where you can read past or future readings.

It's worth every penny and I never leave home without it!

I have the 24 Hours A Day book but I sure like being able to read the daily message on my Smart Phone any time I want a lift. Great recovery tool. There are times when I don't have access to my 24 Hours A Day book, but I'm seldom without my phone. Great way to start the day with a meaningful thought.

This is a great daily tool to start your day and focus on principles. It's awesome to have this material is really organized at your fingertips and able to share with these

In a world that is caught up in self and with a disease that always wants its own way 24 Hours is a perfect way to start a day remembering that I need to ASK God to do for me what I cannot do for myself and then offer that gift to others as the key to keeping it. I love 24 Hours!

These words guide me daily thrythe the tough road of recovery. I have been here many times before, the first ninety days. In fours days, I will have ninety days . The difference this time is I am willing to do the work, to find myself through these words and the steps.

This is one of the deepest, most spiritually enriching daily meditation books I’ve ever read. It is great that I can access it on my phone, especially when I travel and don’t want to bring my hard copy. Thank you so much for creating TwentyFourHoursaDay.

I love being able to have the meditations here readily available at all times. My one complaint about TwentyFourHoursaDay is that if you move it to the background and then come back to it, it goes through the whole startup process again which is a small inconvenience but still a little annoying.

Great app. Easy to use. I can read the 24 Hour reflection anywhere and anytime. My short term memory paired with my condition can have me forget my primary purpose quite often. Sometimes just seeing the icon on my home page helps me to remember who I am.

The 24 Hours follows the God’s Calling text and I love that. The presentation of Godly principles is carefully woven into the AA 12 Step program in an attractive manner which is not offensive to those who might have an aversion to religion of any kind. A must read for any who truly want to commit to the AA program.

As a child my grandmother encouraged me to read my children’s Bible which was hard to understand. As an adult, I began to see that abstract thinking wasn’t what the Scriptures was about either. It was simple yet profound. To apply and to love the author. These writings from AA are not complex, they say, you need support.

This was recommended to me by my sponsor as a tool to use in my beginning stages of sobriety. I've read it everyday and it really has helped. Great reminders for your day to day living. Whether it is related directly to you or not. The readings always will touch base with you. I'm glad I have this.

I was given this book in treatment 28 years ago, and because it still works, I still use it. It is so applicable in life. Now I have the ap and can read it anytime anywhere. A good spiritual tool for daily living that has been laid at my feet.

I read it just about every morning and it helps me to start the day with a prayer, good intentions and focus for positive action. It give me the option to text it to another person. My sponsee gets it after I read it.

no better way to start your day. gets me right sized. let's face it, in the past there would be days when I was in such a rush I would forget my readings before leaving home. now it's with me 24/7.

What a great way to start the day. Having TwentyFourHoursaDay allows me to keep the "book" handy at all times on my phone. The share and reminder features only make it better.

I have been extremely blessed to have this in a digital easy format. The little black book is a favorite of mine and TwentyFourHoursaDay makes it so accessible. Thank you for making this happen. God bless.

I love having TwentyFourHoursaDay on my phone... it makes it so easy to read the daily meditation even before I get out of bed in the morning. It helps start my day off right.

I love this daily meditation. Every time I read it it’s like the first time I heard it. Where you are in the program it’s speaks directly to you! I use this tool daily, thank you!!

I have only been using TwentyFourHoursaDay for a week or so, but I am enjoying it immensely. It is the first part of my morning reading, prayer and meditation, and it sets the tone for the rest of my day. I highly recommend it to anyone who is trying stay sober.
