The Driver Who Gave My Wife His Number
She came home glowing about a kind stranger behind the wheel. The next morning, our family tablet showed me exactly how kind he'd been.

Betrayal, breakups, and what comes after

The Recovery Companion
A small plan for the days that feel unmanageable
Twenty-one days, one or two small things a day, shaped around what actually happened to you and how much energy you have.
Private by design
What you write in a burn letter never leaves your browser. Nothing you write is used to train a model, and you can export or erase everything at any time.
Not a chatbot — it remembers
It knows what you told it last week, so you never start the story again. You can see everything it remembers, edit it, or delete it.
It stops and refers when it should
We are not therapists and never pretend to be. When something sounds heavier than an app should carry, it says so and points you to real help — never behind a paywall.

Questions & answers
What is the Recovery Companion?
A 21-day plan of one or two small daily activities, shaped around your situation, with mood and trigger tracking, rituals for the feelings that have nowhere to go, a no-contact shield, and a companion that remembers what you told it last time.
What does it cost?
It is free for your first three days or your first three sessions, with no card. After that it is $2.99 a month and you can cancel in one click. Reading and listening to all 390 stories is free either way.
Is what I write private?
Burn-letter text never leaves your browser. Sealed letters and unsent drafts stay sealed. Nothing you write is used to train a model, and you can export or permanently erase everything at any time.
Is this therapy?
No. We are not licensed and the companion is not a therapist. It is structured daily support, and it is built to stop and refer you to professional help when what you describe is heavier than an app should carry. Crisis screening and resources are never behind a paywall.
Does it work if I was cheated on rather than just broken up with?
That is what it was built for first. Being deceived damages your trust in your own judgement as well as your heart, so the plan asks what actually happened and includes work on both.
