Stage 2

The First Week

Just out. Triage — the first two weeks, one step at a time.

0 of 17 steps

You're out. This week is triage — short steps, one at a time, in whatever order works. You don't have to feel okay to do these. You just have to do the next one.

If you're exhausted, do one step a day. That's enough. This list will be here tomorrow.

Closing

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

Psalm 46:1

Saving adds this image to your phone's photos — only save it if that's safe for you.

A short check — not a test, and nothing here locks you out. It just helps you see where you are.

  • Do you have a safe place to sleep for the next two weeks?

  • Do you have access to money he can't control?

  • Are your key accounts and passwords changed or secured?

  • Do you have one person you're checking in with?

Only yes/no counts join anonymous aggregates (e.g., stall-point analysis for Stage 2 → 3); never tied to a name.

What is one thing you did this week that the you of a month ago wouldn't have believed?
