Becoming Accountable with a Sponsor/Accountability Partner using recoveryBox

How To Video Series for recoveryBox iOS App for Addiction Recovery

Below you will find our How To Videos for recoveryBox -becoming accountable. When we want to change a bad habit/addiction often the best thing (and often hardest) is allow ourselves to accountable to another person - most often a mentor or counselor or someone who has been through a similar journey. While choosing that person is difficult, you will know you have chosen well if they make you feel a bit uncomfortable with your negative habits while praising you when you choose well.  By uncomfortable we mean they are holding you accountable by wanting to perhaps talk through what happened or bring to light something that might be holding you back.  

Being accountable with recoveryBox is very easy as not only does the app have all your data that is easily aggregated into a simple email or text, the app allows you to customize how much or little data is being sent based on how you and your accountability partner work together.  recoveryBox even allows you to set up alarms to remind you to send that communication.

You might ask if that app can send the accountability piece automatically to your sponsor or counselor?  The answer is NO!  We believe that you must OWN your recovery and therefore while we have all the tools at your fingertips, you must be the one to make the decision to be accountable to someone else.

recoveroyBox's Today's Widget and Configure PopUps for Badges Earned

It's exciting to be able to offer new features for recoveryBox - and these ideas come from you the user!

TWO new features..

  1. Todays Widget (and how to configure)
  1. How to turn on/off the live pop ups for badges.


TODAYS Widget

Every wonder.. "Did I enter any lights today?" or "Did I text my accountability/partner or sponsor today?" And ever want to know this right away without starting up the app?

Introducing the Todays Widget for recoveryBox (and it's configurable!!)

When you first add the recoveryBox widget  you will see...

  1.  The lights icon - if you have entered lights it will have a checkmark
  2. The text/email icon - if you have sent an email or text it too will have a checkmark
  3. The arrow icon - will bring you to the app
  4. The blue label will default to a motivational saying.  You can configure this to actually display the addiction label if you prefer.
  5. Default is also a display of the years, months and days of sobriety for each addiction. 
If you tap on any of the icons it will bring you to the app at the correct screen.




Select the preference tab to configure the Todays Widget



Turning on addiction labels will display the name rather than a motivational phrase.


Don't want to see length of sobriety and only want to see the reminder lights and accountability icons?  No problem.  Just turn it off an only see a motivational phrase.


Badge PopUp Configuration

Well, not everyone likes to have their badges popup in realtime as they earn them -- so you can now configure this too using the preferences for recoveryBox. If you turn off Display Badges they will stop popping up.  Its that simple!....but know that you are still earning your badges behind the scenes and anytime you want to go see what they are just visit the badge screen.

That's it for new features in 5.2!  Remember, if you have an idea let us know so we can see if it makes sense to add it in.  We want to support our users!

recoveryBox Accountability Feature - the key to recovery



Being accountable to someone is key to recovery for an addiction/habit, hurt or hang-up. Accountability could be a sponsor, accountability partner, or even a counselor that you meet with.

recoveryBox makes this simple and flexible/customizable. You decide what to include in the communication text/email by setting your preferences. Even set a daily/weekly reminder to send this off.

While developing this with counselors, it was decided that this feature should be initiated by the person using recoveryBox. Why? When users initiate accountability, compliance and ownership of recovery increases tremendously.

See how EASY it is to be accountable!  Truly! It is that easy!

Go ahead and make the investment in recoveryBox. It's less than the cup of a coffee!
