Craving tracking
A Craving Tracker App for Urges, Mood and Context
RecoveryRoad is a craving tracker for recording your own urges, mood, and daily experiences. Use check-ins and journal notes to notice patterns over time. An app record can support reflection, but it cannot diagnose a condition or predict a relapse.
Notice the situation around an urge, not just the number.

Give an urge some context
A number alone leaves out much of the day. Add a short journal note about the situation when that helps: the time, what you were doing, or what interrupted your routine. Record only what you are comfortable keeping.
For example: "The urge showed up after work while I was alone. I went somewhere else and called a friend." This is an illustrative journal entry, not a promise that a particular action will work for everyone.
Use patterns to choose a question, not to make a diagnosis
You might notice repeated difficult evenings or a change around a busy week. That is a reason to look more closely, not proof that one factor caused another. Missing or inconsistent check-ins also affect what the record shows.
Growth Insights and Stability Score summarize entered information. A reassuring score should never overrule concerning symptoms or replace advice from a qualified professional.
Different recovery categories need different support
The same journal format can record different experiences, but alcohol, nicotine, gambling, and other recovery categories are not medically interchangeable. A tracker does not provide a universal withdrawal plan.
Choose support that fits the actual problem. The nicotine-craving guide and alcohol-recovery resources are separate for that reason. Gambling blocking tools do a different job from recording an urge.
When logging is not the next step
Do not delay urgent support to finish a check-in. The app does not monitor your notes, contact emergency services, or determine whether you are safe.
In the United States, call 911 for an immediate medical emergency. The 988 Lifeline provides suicide and mental-health crisis support. Outside the US, use local emergency and crisis services.

Frequently asked questions
Can RecoveryRoad predict a relapse?
No. Craving logs and Stability Score are for self-reflection. They are not validated predictions of what you will do or assessments of medical safety.
What can I record besides craving intensity?
Use your journal to describe the surrounding situation in your own words. The app's check-ins and growth views sit alongside that reflection; do not assume every example here is a separate structured input field.
Can I use this for nicotine or gambling urges?
RecoveryRoad supports multiple recovery categories. A general tracking routine can be used alongside category-specific support, but it does not replace nicotine treatment or gambling blocking services.
Will the app contact someone when I log a severe urge?
Do not rely on automatic intervention. RecoveryRoad is a self-help companion, not a monitored crisis service. Contact appropriate support directly when you need it.
