The First 30 Days

Your pocket

Everything you keep while you read collects here — the lines that landed, tonight's plan, every wave you rode out. It is stored in this browser, on this device, and nowhere else.

This page reads your pocket out of this browser, so it needs JavaScript switched on. Nothing you saved is lost — it is still in there, and the day pages still work without it.

The card is the lines you kept and tonight's plan, set narrow enough to fold into a wallet. Nothing is sent anywhere to make it — and if there is no printer, Save as PDF keeps it on the phone.

Nothing on this page has ever left the device. There is no account to close, no export to request, and no server holding a copy. Clearing your browser data clears this too, which is the same promise read from the other end.

A note on safety

First, the warning that leads every page of this series: if you've been drinking heavily every day, stopping suddenly can be physically dangerous. Shaking, sweating, a racing heart, confusion or seizures after stopping are medical symptoms — get medical help rather than pushing through.

And nothing on this page is a substitute for that. A pocket card is a handhold for a hard twenty minutes, not a treatment plan — if the hard twenty minutes is most of the day, that is a conversation with a doctor rather than a card, and there are medicines that make it easier.
