Frequently Asked Questions
What is Al-Anon Daily Paths?
Al-Anon Daily Paths is a companion app for Al-Anon members featuring 366 original daily reflections. Each reading is organized by the 12 Steps (one step per month), written in the contemplative style of "Courage to Change," and based on the "Paths to Recovery" framework. Every reflection includes a practical application for today and an inspirational thought to carry with you.
Is Al-Anon Daily Paths affiliated with Al-Anon Family Groups?
Al-Anon Daily Paths is an independent app created to support those in Al-Anon recovery. It is not officially affiliated with, endorsed by, or produced by Al-Anon Family Group Headquarters, Inc. The content is original and inspired by Al-Anon principles.
How do I navigate between readings?
On the website, use the previous and next links at the bottom of each reading. Open Reflections to browse collections by Step, Tradition, or Concept. In the app, use the Previous and Next buttons, or tap the date to open a calendar picker.
Can I save my favorite readings?
Yes! In the Al-Anon Daily Paths app, tap the heart icon on any reading to save it to your favorites. You can access all your saved readings from the Favorites section in the app.
Is my data private?
We keep what we collect to a minimum. The app uses an anonymous identifier stored on your device, along with anonymous usage analytics from Mixpanel, and we never collect your name or email through it. Your journal and other personal entries stay on your device. The website does not require an account; it uses Google Analytics and Mixpanel to understand how the site is used, and the only personal detail we hold is your email address if you join the email list. If you choose to back up the app, the backup goes to your own iCloud or Google Drive account, and we cannot read it. See our Privacy Policy for complete details on both.
Can I back up and restore my data?
Yes. Backup is optional and stays off until you turn it on in the app. Once it is on, the app can back up your journal entries, gratitude entries, personal prayers, bookmarks and listening progress to your own cloud account: iCloud on iPhone and iPad, or a hidden app folder in your Google Drive on Android. If you move to a new device, you can restore your content from the same account. We cannot see or read your backup, and you can turn backup off or delete it at any time from the app’s Backup & Sync screen. See our Privacy Policy for details.
How can I provide feedback on a reading?
In the app, you can rate each reflection using the feedback buttons after reading. Your anonymous feedback helps us continuously improve the quality of our readings for the entire community.
Is Al-Anon Daily Paths free to use?
The website is free. The Al-Anon Daily Paths app is available as a one-time purchase on the App Store. We believe recovery support should be accessible to everyone who needs it.
