About & Mission

ForgeRestore is a peer-recovery organizing tool built by people in recovery, for people in recovery. We exist to make it easier to work a program — connect with a sponsor, do step work, track your triggers and cravings, and stay close to your home group — without selling your data or pretending to be a therapist. We are not a treatment provider, a medical service, or a crisis line.
