The Journal for Recovery was created by Awake Software along with two other commercial journaling software products - the Journal for Faith and 1Journal. The Journal for Faith differs from 1Journal primarily in the content, with the Journal for Faith including scriptures primarily from the Judeo-Christian tradition and 1Journal including scriptures from all spiritual traditions. The 1Journal and Journal for Faith journaling programs are fully compatible with the Journal for Recovery (journals and prompts can easily be transferred between the two, including all meta-data), but also have additional capabilities that can be useful in various areas of your life, including recovery. Highlights of the differences in the Journal for Recovery and the upgrade journals are presented below, with a more complete comparison available at the Journal for Recovery website.
