The World Recovery Project is a global, interactive map that turns recovery into light.
Every time someone enters their milestone — “1 day sober,” “6 months clean,” “starting again today” — a glow appears on the map. Each light represents a real person somewhere in the world choosing change, peace, or sobriety in that moment.
It’s completely anonymous. No names, no accounts, no tracking — just proof that you’re not alone.
đź’« Why It Exists
Recovery is often invisible. Millions of people make brave decisions every day, yet no one sees the collective impact.
The World Recovery Project exists to make that invisible strength visible — a living network of hope showing recovery as it happens, everywhere on Earth.
When the map lights up, you see humanity healing itself in real time.
⚙️ How It Works
- Interactive world map: glowing points appear where people share milestones.
- Anonymous submissions: choose your country, add your milestone, and hit “light it up.”
- Live feed: new entries instantly brighten the map.
- Reflections: optional short quotes appear when you hover or tap a light — words from people just like you.
- Inspiration layer: see stats like lights today, countries active, and most common feeling.
🧠Our Purpose
To show that recovery is happening everywhere — not hidden in shame, but alive in connection.
Where other platforms track progress, we visualise it.
Where others teach recovery, we reveal it.
This project is about unity, visibility, and shared humanity.
🚀 The Vision Ahead
- Phase 1 – Prototype (Now → Jan 2026): Launch the first interactive map and open global submissions.
- Phase 2 – Emotion Index: Add an optional “How recovery feels today” layer to visualise the world’s emotional pulse.
- Phase 3 – Collaboration: Partner with researchers and organisations to study anonymised global recovery data — while protecting every participant’s privacy.
🤝 Join the Movement
Every light matters. Whether you’re one day in or one decade sober, your presence adds to something bigger.
When the map goes live, you’ll be able to add your light and watch hope spread across the globe — one decision at a time.
