Burnout to Resiliency – Interactive Recovery Tracker
Recovery isn’t just about staying sober — it’s about noticing stress, reflecting on what works, and building resiliency over time. This tracker is designed to guide you daily or weekly, helping you strengthen habits and stay grounded in recovery.
Step 1: Past Stress Reflection (2–3 min)
Prompt: Think back over the past month.
What were the most stressful situations or events?
How did they affect your mind and body?
Which actions, habits, or recovery tools helped you cope?
Which actions didn’t help or made it harder?
💡 Tip: Include recovery-specific tools like calling a sponsor, journaling, attending a meeting, or reaching out to a peer.
Step 2: Current Stress Check-In (2–3 min)
Prompt: Look at what’s happening right now.
Current stressors: __________________________
How are these affecting your emotions or body?
What’s helping you cope today?
What’s NOT helping you?
How can your values guide your response?
How can your strengths help you handle this?
