Hardcore Recovery

NO ONE IS COMING
TO SAVE YOU
BUT YOU.

And that's the good news. Hardcore Recovery is the addiction recovery app built on one principle every other app is too polite to say out loud: your recovery is 100% your responsibility — and you're 100% capable of it.

CORE TOOLS FREE FOREVER · FULL ARSENAL $2.50/MO OR $25 ONCE · YOUR DATA NEVER LEAVES YOUR PHONE

IF YOU AREN'T CHANGING IT, YOU'RE CHOOSING IT.

Why another recovery app?

BECAUSE THE OTHERS
HOLD YOUR HAND.

Most recovery apps lead with serenity quotes, pastel gradients, and somebody else's higher power. Meanwhile the relapse statistics stay ugly. We built the app for people who are done waiting to be rescued.

    The soft apps

  • Congratulate you for existing
  • Let you skip the hard questions
  • Treat a relapse like a mystery that "happened to you"
  • Sell your recovery data to advertisers
  • Wait for you to feel motivated

    Hardcore Recovery

  • Makes you sign a contract with yourself before it opens
  • Asks what you DID about it, not how you felt
  • Treats a fall like data: own it, autopsy it, get back on the road
  • Stores everything on your device. We never see it. Ever.
  • Runs on standards, because motivation is a lazy coworker

The system

EIGHT WEAPONS.
ZERO EXCUSES.

Not a mood tracker. A full accountability system built from evidence-based relapse-prevention science, delivered by a drill sergeant who respects you too much to lie to you.

01

The Contract

The app won't open until you sign your own accountability terms. Your word, in writing.

02

The Clock

A live sobriety clock counting every second you chose — plus the money back in your pocket, ticking in real time.

03

Excuse Destroyer

Type the excuse you're about to obey. Get a hard truth stamped on it instead. "Your childhood loaded the gun. You're the one aiming it."

04

31 Training Modules

Boot Camp: Radical Accountability, urge surfing, triggers, exit drills, sleep, sweat — real science, drill-sergeant delivery, homework included.

05

Craving Response

One tap when it hits: a 15-minute urge timer (the wave always breaks), guided breathing, your 2 AM crew on speed dial, your WHY in your face.

06

Own It Protocol

Fell? The clock resets — but a full honest autopsy earns most of the cost back. Lying to the app is always the worst-scoring move. By design.

07

Past Normal Goals

Sobriety is the entry fee, not the trophy. Set goals that would impress someone who never struggled — and stack reps until they're conquered.

08

The Spoken Voice

74 recorded drill-sergeant lines fire at the exact moments that matter. Check in on a hard day and hear it: "That's a rep. Stand taller."

The voice

ACCOUNTABILITY,
NOT SHAME.

"You fell. You reported it. Those are two different men — and only one of them is finished."— AFTER A FALL, OWNED
"Addiction lives in the next twenty minutes. Your life lives in the next twenty years. Pick your time zone."— HARD TRUTH №14

Shame is the #1 predictor of a lapse becoming a spiral — so this app never shames you. It just refuses to pretend your choices aren't choices. There's a difference, and it's the whole product.

Daily war paint

A NEW POSTER
EVERY MORNING.

Every day the app hands you fresh war paint — save it, share it, make it your lock screen. Your daily reminder that it's you vs. you.

If you aren't changing it, you're choosing it. Break the chains. No one is coming to save you but you.

The contract you'll sign

THE SEVEN TERMS.

  1. 01My past explains me. It does not excuse me.
  2. 02No one is coming to help me but me. It is on me to hold myself accountable and do what is right.
  3. 03If I am not changing it, I am choosing it.
  4. 04If I know better, I will do better.
  5. 05A craving is a flat tire. I will not sit on the side of the road — and using my tools, my people, and my training IS changing it.
  6. 06I will tell the truth in this app even when it costs me. Especially when it costs me.
  7. 07If I fall, I will own it, do the autopsy, and get back on the road the same day.

COMING SOON — RESIDENTIAL

THE FORGE.

The Hardcore Recovery Way — lived, not scrolled. Ninety days. Four adults. One undisclosed location.

Somewhere off the map there's a property with more acreage than excuses. Mountains to hike. Water to fish. Iron to lift. Silence big enough to finally hear yourself think. That's where the Forge is being built.

Four adults at a time — never more. You'll live, train, cook, climb, and fight for it together, because the deepest lesson in the Way is this: learning to hold someone else accountable is how you learn to hold yourself. Your cohort becomes your 2 AM crew for life.

Residents per cohort. Not forty. Four.

Private culinary team — the machine gets fed like it matters.

Straight answers

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.

What is Hardcore Recovery?

An addiction recovery and sobriety tracker app built on one principle: full personal accountability. A live sober day counter, daily check-ins, 31 evidence-based training modules, an urge timer, a vent chatbot, and one-tap crisis lines — delivered in a drill-sergeant voice with zero coddling.

Is Hardcore Recovery free?

The core tools are free forever: the sobriety clock, daily check-ins, the SOS crisis screen, the Own It relapse protocol, Boot Camp accountability training, and the Sarge vent bot. The full arsenal — all training tracks, the spoken voice pack, daily posters, goals, and the journal — is $2.50/month or $25 once for lifetime access, with a 7-day free trial.

Does it work for quitting alcohol, drugs, vaping, porn, or gambling?

Yes. You name the addiction when you sign the contract — alcohol, drugs, nicotine, vaping, porn, gambling, anything — and the clock, check-ins, and training apply the same accountability system to it. Note: quitting alcohol or benzodiazepines cold turkey can be medically dangerous; talk to a doctor about detox first.

Is it religious or 12-step based?

No. Hardcore Recovery is not religious and is not a 12-step program. It's built on radical personal accountability and evidence-based relapse-prevention science: urge surfing, trigger mapping, exit drills, and future-thinking training. It works alongside AA, SMART Recovery, therapy — or on its own.

Is my recovery data private?

Completely. No account, no sign-up. Everything you write — check-ins, journal, chat — is stored on your device only. The app has no user database, no analytics, and no trackers. Nobody can read your journal, including us.

How do I get the app on Android or iPhone?

Android: download the APK directly from this site — no store account needed. iPhone: open app.hardcorerecovery.app in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. It also runs in any browser with nothing to install.

YOU VS. YOU.
