The publication

About

The Great Fact is an independent daily publication for people in recovery.

Each morning it brings together quotations, a passage from recovery literature, a reading from the wider spiritual and literary tradition, and a reflection for the day.

It began with a simple conviction: mornings matter. Before the day gathers speed, a few honest words can steady the attention and keep company with someone trying to live differently. That is why it arrives in the morning, and why it remains brief.

Where it comes from

The Great Fact was inspired by other recovery and spiritual newsletters: simple publications built around the idea that something useful can arrive each morning. It draws especially from the literature and history of Alcoholics Anonymous while remaining editorially and organizationally independent.

The Great Fact also looks beyond recovery literature when a spiritual, philosophical, or literary work has something useful to say about how we live.

What kind of publication it is

The Great Fact is free and independent. There are no advertisements or paid subscriptions. It is privately supported and edited with care.
