How It Works

Your recovery program, step by step

From the first assessment through the daily loop, including what happens on the days you slip.

  1. AssessResearch

    Assessment

    A structured questionnaire maps the patterns you are dealing with and how severe they are. It also flags whether you should be working with a licensed therapist alongside the program.

  2. ProgressBeta

    Treatment

    Work the Islamized twelve steps across three phases: Awakening, Accounting, and Living. Daily tasks carry each step, and every completed task moves you closer to sustained recovery.

  3. ManageBeta

    Triggers

    Map out your personal triggers and follow intervention protocols to help calm urges. Awareness becomes the first line of defence against relapse.

  4. SOSBeta

    Emergency Help

    In case of urges, launch the Trigger Intervention Protocol for immediate, evidence-based coping actions tailored to your active triggers.

  5. ReturnBeta

    Tawba

    A slip resets nothing. Renew your intention, log what led there, and resume the step you were on. No counter goes back to zero and no milestone is taken away.

The Differences

What we left out, and why

Most recovery apps compete on features. We compete on honesty. Three things you will not find in P-Minus, and the reason each one stays out.

Beta Launch
60%expected to stay abstinent for a full year on completing the program and sticking with the teachings.

Sticking with the program and completing daily tasks steadily increases that rate. The assessment and the emergency help button push it higher still.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Everything you might want to know about the P-Minus approach before you begin.

Not yet, or at least not comfortably. Right now the app is built around Islamic practice, and parts of it, like namaz, assume you pray as a Muslim. Nothing in it argues against other religions, and the core idea of turning to God for help is shared, but we have not done the work to support other faiths properly. We plan to change that. A later version will let you set your own tradition, swap in its prayers and practices, and connect you with a spiritual therapist from your own religion.

Faith healers are not spiritual therapists. Spiritual therapists are good-natured community faith leaders.
