RECOVERY RESOURCES
Tools for the Work of Rebuilding.
Recovery does not happen only in treatment rooms, meetings, or moments of crisis.
Much of the work happens in ordinary life—when you are trying to understand what you are experiencing, make a difficult decision, repair something that has been damaged, or figure out what comes next.
These resources are designed to help make that work a little clearer.
Whether you are rebuilding your own life, supporting someone you love, or working professionally with people in recovery, you will find practical tools and education grounded in the whole-person approach of the Squared Away Recovery Framework™.

UNDERSTAND · SUPPORT · REBUILD
PRACTICAL TOOLS
Resources Designed to Be Used.
Understanding recovery matters.
But understanding becomes more powerful when it helps you recognize what is happening, think more clearly about where you are, and decide what to do next.
The resources being developed alongside Getting Squared Away are designed with that purpose in mind.
New resources will be added as the Getting Squared Away library continues to grow.
UNDERSTANDING IS THE BEGINNING · APPLICATION IS THE WORK
RESOURCE LIBRARY

Use the library below to find tools, guides, worksheets, and educational materials for wherever you are in the recovery process.
Education Resource Material will be added to the Library as it is developed.
A NOTE ABOUT THESE RESOURCES
Use What Helps. Know When You Need More.
Recovery resources can help you understand what you are experiencing, ask better questions, recognize patterns, and take practical steps forward.
But a worksheet, video, book, or educational resource cannot know your complete history, evaluate your individual circumstances, or replace a relationship with a qualified professional.
The materials provided through Getting Squared Away and the Recovery Academy™ are intended for education, reflection, and personal growth.
They are not a substitute for individualized medical, psychiatric, psychological, or substance-use treatment.
WHEN YOU ARE USING THESE RESOURCES
Take what is useful.
Not every resource will apply to every person or every stage of recovery.
Work at your own pace.
Some subjects may require time, support, or more than one conversation.
Bring difficult questions into the room.
When something raises concerns about your recovery, mental health, medications, safety, or treatment, discuss it with an appropriate healthcare or behavioral-health professional.
Ask for help when you need it.
Using support is not separate from the work of recovery. Often, it is part of the work.
Need help now?
If you or someone you know is struggling or in distress, help is available.

A resource can help you see the next step.
You still do not have to take that step alone.
EDUCATION · REFLECTION · SUPPORT · CONNECTION
KEEP EXPLORING
The Next Step Depends on What You Need.
You do not have to understand every part of recovery at once.
Sometimes the next step is learning more.
Sometimes it is understanding the bigger picture.
And sometimes it is simply finding language for what you—or someone you care about—is experiencing.
Wherever you are starting, there is another place to continue.
