Notice the Drift Before the Crisis
Seven Tells is a private daily check-in for recovery, built on the Personal Craziness Index. Pick seven personal warning signs, check in each day, and watch your trend.
Coming Soon to iPhone.
How It Works
The Personal Craziness Index is a self-monitoring method described by Dr. Patrick Carnes. The idea is simple: small behaviors tend to slip first, before a hard day becomes a hard week.
1. Pick Seven Signs
Choose the personal warning signs that tend to show up first for you, grouped by area of life.
2. Check In Daily
Tap the ones that came up today. Your score runs from 0 to 7. Lower is calmer.
3. Watch the Trend
Over weeks, the pattern becomes clear, so you can act early instead of in a crisis.
