Millions rely on these words as a spiritual resource that has practical applications to fit the daily life of those in recovery.
Part of the Sanskrit proverb quoted in the app, “For yesterday is but a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision,” has become one of the basic building blocks for a life of sobriety.

Twenty-Four Hours a Day Positive Reviews
Great appAfter developer response I’ve decided to re-review. I appreciate the response letting me know how to enlarge text size. However it doesn’t quite match with the system settings so when I make the app large enough for me everything else is too large elsewhere. Still they have allowed larger text size so that’s great. Everything else with the app(s) is great. I use other similar apps from the developer but this one is my favorite. I really appreciate having the 12 steps and the 12 traditions in the app. I believe it works offline too because I have a meeting in a park where there is no cell reception and I believe I’ve used these functions offline at that meeting. My new suggestion/ request is to add the promises with the 12&12 & then the app would be top tier. It’s also a fantastic sign that the developer responded to my review because that says to me they plan to keep this app going which is great because I hate paying for apps that get abandoned and get so obsolete they’re no longer available when getting new devices but I have a feeling these guys won’t do that. I also really really appreciate the 1 time fee for access because I wouldn’t subscribe to a monthly even if it was $1 a month because then I’d just go buy the book. My sponsor started sending me passages from this app which is how I found it and I found it so helpful I bought it for myself even though my sponsor said he’d keep sending me the daily readings. I have 4 apps from this developer and plan on getting at least 2 more..Version: 2.2.12
“My 24 Hour Book”A desperate woman who couldn’t stop drinking, I woke up in hospital after third suicide attempt thinking, “Oh No! Now what?”. In a very short time, 1 Two AA members showed up and took me to a treatment center, against my will, but I felt powerless to resist. 2. 28 days later I continued the meetings which were part of the recovery program . 3. My desperation was my surrender. I thought this wouldn’t work for me, but I would try it. First thing every morning on my knees, ask God for a sober day (without questioning what I may or may not believe about Gid) read something spiritual (my sponsor said she read the 24 Hour book) and plan my day around a meeting . At night before going to sleep, say a thank you prayer to God for the 24 hours free of my obsession. 4. “The 24 Hours a Day” book was perfect to remind me to stay on the right path. It has had new meaning for me every day. I now read it on my iPhone, but I can still pick up my original “black book” and not only is the message still there for me, I have sticky notes on almost every page. They too help me to rely on the power of God, and stay aware of my own powerlessness. This book has become more precious to me every day. Thanks to all who contributed the daily readings, the ones who were inspired to write each day’s message, the publishers and bookstores who continue to keep it available to us, my sponsor who passed it on many 24 hour days ago… But first and always, I thank God for his grace in everything and everyone who has saved me from desperation and gave me a beautiful life..Version: 2.2.12
Must have for any AA personI used to have the small softcover but would give it away to people and never see them again and have to buy a new one. This app version is fantastic. I have used it for 22 years and the best 10 dollar investment I’ve made. It has three components. A thought for the day, a meditation for the day and a prayer for the day. In the thought portion is an ending contemplative question which is often the topic of an AA meeting. The nice thing is that I can open this app anytime and read the reading in the morning and start my day right. It mentions god but not reason to freak out. You can use your definition of God, even the term good will orderly direction. The meditations are usually excellent and I often send them to my non AA friends.Version: 2.2.11
Spiritual not religiousWhoever wrote the review on the one reading in this book which talks about atheism completely missed the point. They do not care what your higher power is as long as it works for you. The fact is if you are an addict or alcoholic like me you can not recover on your own. Hence needing a power greater than yourself. This could be your AA/NA group or whatever you want to help point your life in the right direction. Again this book absolutely does not push a certain religion. It focuses on repairing the spiritual disconnect we face with this disease. Where our actions and behaviors don’t line up with our morals and values..Version: 2.2.5
Reading this book every morning changed my lifeIn early recover and well in, I experienced depression and anxiety. I now know many do. Reading this book every morning changes the chemistry in my brain, I am convinced. My great-grandsponser, my grandsponser, my sponser, my self, all my sponsees, have read and read this book daily. The positivity and perspective has forever changed my life and the life of millions of AA’s over the years...one day at a time. Bonus is the slow drip,drip,drip of explanation of AA life and living. I need it every day. Thanks for this book..Version: 2.2.8
I want the original devotions back.This is not the same book I have been reading for 25 years of uninterrupted sobriety. I started reading the 24 hour book the first day I came into AA and my dad hand me the book. I noticed something changed with this app a couple weeks ago. I don’t like what you have done to it. You have taken the liberty to change the Tex and make judge mental remarks about a book that was written through Devine direction. I want the original book but on this app..Version: 2.2.8
Fantastic mobile versionNaturally, I love the instant access. What addict wouldn't? Sometime I get obsessed by my phone gadgets, but this gives me a choice to get some reading and meditation in when I'd otherwise just distract myself. I also share readings easily with my family on devices, because let's face it, they come out at family meals and such. Offering a recovery alternative in a sea of mindless apps and business that now follows us wherever we go..Version: 2.2.3
Peaceful daily readingI have been reading this book for 24 years as a matter of fact since I have lost so much of my vision I just bought the book with large print. This book was written for anyone to read it’s not just for alcoholics it’s a book to help you understand and live a better life, and it is meant to be read everyday for inspiration to live a better life. I take it every where I go.Version: 2.2.7
My favorite appI’ve been reading the 24 Hour since 1978. Of course my book is a treasure with notations but sometimes those notations bring back sad memories. It is so wonderful to pick up my phone and right in front of my eyes find the daily reading, brand new and clear of memories and my own “wisdom”, from my beloved 24 hour book. Thank you Hazelden for making this possible. easybreezy48.Version: 2.2.11
Super SupportiveThis app helps me in so many ways. Since it is suggested in my program of recovery, I have easy access to it every day. Whenever I read it, I feel like it may be coming directly from Bill W himself, so it encourages and challenges me on some level. And most importantly, since it’s on my phone, I can read it anywhere I go. Thanks so much for this super supportive app!.Version: 2.2.12
Excellent way to start your day!I have been using this app for more than two years, and I find it a valuable tool to use each morning to help me stay on track and get my mind straight to face each day’s challenges. I use parts of it to carry the message to my sponsees each day. I have used others but like this one best. I HIGHLY Recommend this daily devotion to anyone seeking to stay the course in one’s sobriety..Version: 2.2.9
GratitudeIn life where else in one gonna find forgiveness , a purpose and a home eternally = Jesus Christ came and died on the cross for all of us , as so We have a chance in life to get to know Him. This App allows the ability for me to internalize a change in my perception & attitude on life ( psychic change ) and this is truly necessary for an acknowledgment of my ailments , by doing this daily. Thank you 🙏 sincerely.Version: 2.2.12
Recovery grounded in GodI have been clean for 43 years. When I started my recovery there was very few pieces of literature and no daily devotional in my fellowship. I came upon “24 hours a day” and it carried me. I have used many different daily devotionals since then however this remains my favorite. If you are new to recovery please give this daily devotional a chance as a daily guide. It is a priceless resource.Version: 2.2.13
Best purchase I’ve ever made…why?I have the little black book at home, at work and now on my phone. When I find myself bored and wanting to look at Facebook, Instagram or YouTube…instead I click on the app and read & reread the thought, meditate & prayer for the day. I assure you, that is so much more enriching for my soul & sobriety than social media. Big Love Never Fails ❤️❤️❤️.Version: 2.2.11
Great way to start my dayI love this app and getting a new motivation each day just helps me get through the day. Nothing major on here except the daily reflections, but it is so worth it if you are struggling with addiction and want to feel great each day and motivated! I also enjoy that I can go back and look at past days as well!.Version: 2.2.11
Constant CompanionThis book has been my constant companion for over 40 years of continuous sobriety. Although I have revised my morning meditations over the years, this little treasure remains in my top few “must reads”. In its pages — or on my cell phone — I always find inspiration to get me through another day. Thank you, Susan..Version: 2.2.9
24 Hours A DayI have the 24 Hours A Day book but I sure like being able to read the daily message on my Smart Phone any time I want a lift. Great recovery tool. There are times when I don't have access to my 24 Hours A Day book, but I'm seldom without my phone. Great way to start the day with a meaningful thought..Version: 2.2.3
A Sobriety Must Have!This app is amazing and a go to for me every morning. Let's face it, if your working your sobriety or just want some great insight, this app is a must have. The interface is easy to you and it even has a calendar where you can read past or future readings. It's worth every penny and I never leave home without it!.Version: 2.2.5
Marching Orders for a clean sober lifeI’ve been in AA for 26 years. Every morning, I pray and meditate for 10 minutes. I do not miss, for this is my time to connect with God. After this time, I read a passage out of Twenty-Four Hours a Day. I lean on the inspiration gleaned from these pages. These are my matching orders for the day to lead me in purity, honesty, unselfishness, and love..Version: 2.2.13
Having it pop up every morning is greatBad habits seem so easy to form while building good habits seems impossible sometimes. The app allows me to set a time when this pops up on my phone. I get a meditation / reading that pops up at 7am everyday. Going on five years without missing my suggested habit of morning prayer and meditation. This app was a big help!.Version: 2.2.8
24 hoursThis app has been essential to my recovery. It is always with me when the book is not. I have shared it with many others. I would suggest adding a highlight feature to the app. I pick up on different things each time I read it. It would be nice to see those impactful statements year to year..Version: 2.2.8
Very helpful in spiritual Journey!I would recommend this to anybody who gets sober and really wants to take steps in spiritual growth. I have been reading this almost everyday in my 11 years of uninterrupted sobriety. I am still in awe how the words resonate and touch my soul. It is a great way to start or finish your day in my opinion..Version: 2.2.11
Spiritual InsightfulnessFor more than 30 thirty years this like book has been a true gift in my life. Later, when the digital format was released, it meant I could carry it with me on my devices(extremely convenient). Richmond Walker’s daily spiritual insights & inspirational ponderances continue to uplift & inspire generations..Version: 2.2.12
I love the little bookAnd I love the app. Every single time I open it, the correct day shows up like it should. I use to carry the book with me everywhere but now with the app I can review the daily reading anytime and anywhere. Being in recovery, it’s my go too tool..Version: 2.2.11
My 24 hrs a dayI use this every day. My program depends on my 24 hour reading. I am sober today because I have books like this to share as well as to use. I was out of the country and was able to obtain readings to keep my sobriety on a ship that was loaded with booze, met fellow alcoholics and shared my experience strength and hope. So thank you..Version: 2.2.11
Words of HopeThese words guide me daily thrythe the tough road of recovery. I have been here many times before, the first ninety days. In fours days, I will have ninety days . The difference this time is I am willing to do the work, to find myself through these words and the steps..Version: 2.2.11
WonderfulThis is one of the deepest, most spiritually enriching daily meditation books I’ve ever read. It is great that I can access it on my phone, especially when I travel and don’t want to bring my hard copy. Thank you so much for creating this app..Version: 2.2.9
Great content, functionality so-soI love being able to have the meditations here readily available at all times. My one complaint about the app is that if you move it to the background and then come back to it, it goes through the whole startup process again which is a small inconvenience but still a little annoying..Version: 2.2.5
I can never have too many remindersGreat app. Easy to use. I can read the 24 Hour reflection anywhere and anytime. My short term memory paired with my condition can have me forget my primary purpose quite often. Sometimes just seeing the icon on my home page helps me to remember who I am..Version: 2.2.3
17 years of alcohol free and exuberant life!!The 24 Hours follows the God’s Calling text and I love that. The presentation of Godly principles is carefully woven into the AA 12 Step program in an attractive manner which is not offensive to those who might have an aversion to religion of any kind. A must read for any who truly want to commit to the AA program..Version: 2.2.9
Why read?As a child my grandmother encouraged me to read my children’s Bible which was hard to understand. As an adult, I began to see that abstract thinking wasn’t what the Scriptures was about either. It was simple yet profound. To apply and to love the author. These writings from AA are not complex, they say, you need support..Version: 2.2.10
Spiritual JourneyI was given the 24 Hour book when I first came into AA. I read it almost every day, it’s become part of my spiritual journey. I have nearly 43 years of continuous sobriety. I encourage others to give this little book a try. It’s helped me. 🙏.Version: 2.2.13
Must HaveThis was recommended to me by my sponsor as a tool to use in my beginning stages of sobriety. I've read it everyday and it really has helped. Great reminders for your day to day living. Whether it is related directly to you or not. The readings always will touch base with you. I'm glad I have this..Version: 2.2.3
Beautiful reminder!24 hours is a great app that helps me start my day sober and end my day sober. In fact it tells me where I can find the quotes too! Doing my daily meditation and readings is an enormous part of my recovery and 24 hrs is there to be the addition..Version: 2.2.12
A must haveWhat an incredible inspirational book that is now readily available in the app format. The book that gives you motivation, inspiration and encouragement. A great daily living tool for all but especially those in recovery..Version: 2.2.11
Daily Self CareAs a newcomer to AA i really enjoy starting my day with 24 hours. I’ve made it the first step in my daily self care routine. It really allows me to stay on track with daily thoughts . The app allows me to set reminders and save my favorite daily passages..Version: 2.2.11
Thank youThis daily reading on my phone is so convenient. The 24 hours a day book is filled with great readings that include spirituality, sobriety, and hope. I really do love having this so much. Thanks for making it available to us..Version: 2.2.10
Great Starter them to be able to sit and have the notification come up every day at a specific timeThis is a great daily tool to start your day and focus on principles. It's awesome to have this material is really organized at your fingertips and able to share with these.Version: 2.2.9
OthersIn a world that is caught up in self and with a disease that always wants its own way 24 Hours is a perfect way to start a day remembering that I need to ASK God to do for me what I cannot do for myself and then offer that gift to others as the key to keeping it. I love 24 Hours!.Version: 2.2.9
Hope & StrengthThis devotions have carried me through decades of sobriety; in more recent years, I’ve learned they were taken from ‘God Calling’ a devotional book that I have been reading for decades as well. Only God could have coordinated that unbeknownst to me..Version: 2.2.13
Incredible app24 hours a day is one of my very favorite things to read every day. I am blown away with the wisdom and inspiration contained in these thoughts. I am so grateful to whoever put this together because it is filled with truth and resonates with me so much..Version: 2.2.8
Spirituality lifterThis Truly is a blessing . It speaks Truth . You can apply it to all things . With much respect to the AA program, as a member myself. I find myself sending the meditation to others , my personal experience is some people Read AA and feel it doesn’t apply to them. On the contrary AA , you can adjust to “ another attitude “ “ attitude adjustment “ I’ve been reading this app daily upon awakening for over 2 years now when It was shared to me .❤️ It has indeed helped improve the quality of my life and my spirituality !!!.Version: 2.2.12
Nice BookI just love reading this book everyday. It seems to hit home. I’d definitely gives me something to think about and makes me want to become a better person..Version: 2.2.11
Long range part of sobrietyI’ve read this book for my 31 years of today sobriety. To have the ap right on my phone is wonderful. And it comes up to the day. More often than not I read something very appropriate for the day..Version: 2.2.9
For 28 yearsI was given this book in treatment 28 years ago, and because it still works, I still use it. It is so applicable in life. Now I have the ap and can read it anytime anywhere. A good spiritual tool for daily living that has been laid at my feet..Version: 2.2.4
A wisdom “nugget” a day.......ODATI’ve been reading for over a year and, along with other Program actions I’ve taken, I’m a more evolved human being.

Finding hopeIn my journey toward true freedom for my soul. This app has help me find a lot of hope & inspiration. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that wants to find a hope that does not disappoint..Version: 2.2.11
Relax and take it easyMy first spiritual advisor suggested this… ‘Relax and take it easy’. At 57 years of age I’m still working on this. Taking this time and reading a devotional first thing in the morning helps slow the nascar race down in my mind..Version: 2.2.11

Start your morning off right with a dose of sobrietyI love this little app. It gives me the days meditation in an easy to read format. It takes very little time to read but it has such a profound affect on my day. I set the reminder to alert me later than I usually get up and read the days reading. If you love the little black book you will notice it is the most up to date version. I truly believe if you try this for 40 days you will agree it has helped you in recovery.Version: 2.2.12
