About
Who's behind this, and what it is.
I'm Chris Nugent. I've lived through bullying and addiction and built a life in recovery. I know how hard it can be to tell someone what is really going on.
Quiet Strength Recovery brings what I've learned into my writing and two free apps people can use in their own way. I've completed AA and ACOA twelve-step programmes.
Free recovery help comes first
The website brings together free recovery apps, practical tools, guides and a printable workbook for adults and families. The optional QSR shop helps support this work. No purchase is needed to use the free resources.
What this is
- Peer support and educationTools and writing from lived experience, for adults 18 and over.
- Free apps and a free workbookNo account is needed, and your writing stays on your device. See the privacy page.
- A small shopIt's separate from the free tools, and you never need it to use them.
What this isn't
It isn't medical treatment, counselling or a crisis service, and it doesn't replace professional or emergency help. If you need help now, use the UK helplines or call 999.
How the guides are written and checked
- The toolsThey come from the exercises in the two apps.
- Medical and safety factsThese come from the NHS and other official sources, linked on each page.
- Helpline numbersEach one is checked against the service's own website. Last full check: 4 November 2026.
These guides haven't been reviewed by a doctor. If something here differs from what your doctor or service tells you, go with them, and please let us know.
