Question 1

What is Celebrating Recovery?

Accepted Answer

Celebrating Recovery is a recovery companion for adults in the United States. It is designed to support the daily work of change with private reflection, progress, and recovery-support tools. It is not a promise of sobriety, a substitute for professional care, or affiliated with Celebrate Recovery.

Question 2

Is creating an account free, and how does sign-up work?

Accepted Answer

Creating an account is free. Sign-up uses an email address and password. After sign-up, open the verification link sent to your email address; you verify your email to continue to the private member area.

Question 3

What recovery tools are available?

Accepted Answer

The published product includes a private welcome flow and dashboard, daily check-ins, sobriety and progress tracking, journal and reflection tools, inventory and background tools, optional faith and reading tools, a recovery timeline, and support-circle features. Celebrating Recovery is still in the making, and the public site describes some daily reflection and support tools as in development. This FAQ does not treat unfinished work as available.

Question 4

Can I invite or connect with a sponsor or sponsee?

Accepted Answer

Members can invite a trusted person by email and choose Sponsor, Sponsee, or Both. The invitation link expires after seven days. The recipient must verify their email and explicitly consent before the connection becomes active.

Question 5

What can an accepted support connection see?

Accepted Answer

An accepted connection starts with sharing off. The owner can explicitly enable supported summaries such as mood and craving check-in ratings, counter labels and timing, encouragement status, and modest accountability badges. Private check-ins and messages are available only within an accepted connection.

Question 6

Are my notes and other recovery details private?

Accepted Answer

Notes and unsupported details remain private. The current sharing catalog keeps check-in notes, counter events and notes, sharing notes, schedules and due times, background answers, Inventory, legal details, photos, recovery notes, intake, and sharing controls out of these connections. Disconnecting closes sharing and messages.

Question 7

What privacy and analytics boundaries does the product publish?

Accepted Answer

Accounts and support plans are private by default, and a support plan is not shared automatically. Celebrating Recovery describes privacy-conscious analytics on public pages only with consent; it says recovery answers, journal entries, messages, names, emails, and URL parameters are not sent to Google. This FAQ makes no broader promise about confidentiality, data retention, security, or privacy beyond these published boundaries.

Question 8

Where does the product point me for help?

Accepted Answer

Inside the signed-in product, Get Help Now points members to saved sponsor or backup contacts, available support when a vetted and opted-in support person is currently available, and U.S. crisis and recovery resources. Available support may not be available right now. If a request is recorded, an available support person may respond, but a response is not guaranteed.

Question 9

Which U.S. crisis and recovery resources are published?

Accepted Answer

The published resources include the 988 Lifeline at https://988lifeline.org/, FindTreatment.gov at https://findtreatment.gov/, Celebrate Recovery free resources at https://celebraterecovery.com/free-resources/, and the Celebrate Recovery group locator at https://crlocator.com/. These links point to those services and information; they are not an emergency-response promise.

Question 10

What should I do in immediate danger?

Accepted Answer

If you may hurt yourself or someone else, call 911 or your local emergency services now. Celebrating Recovery cannot contact emergency responders automatically and does not guarantee a response.
