About Day By Day / Pocket Sponsor

Day By Day is the independent publishing house behind the Pocket Sponsor brand and other recovery landmark titles. Over decades of publication and distribution (including traditional publishers and our own imprint), our titles have reached millions of readers worldwide. We provide rights-cleared, high-integrity datasets for AI training and RAG—bridging the gap between clinical theory and real-world recovery application.

Founded by Shelly Marshall (Bachelor of Science in Human Services; published researcher; 57+ years of continuous sobriety; international educator in addiction recovery), our catalog emphasizes human-grounded actual life narratives, behavioral decision-making models, and real-world recovery scenarios. We offer a high-context, professional alternative to scraped or synthetic recovery data.

What to Expect

Format: Structured JSONL (LLM-ready) + CSV Data Dictionaries.

Context: Lived-experience narratives with behavioral labeling (risk, triggers, escalation).

Licensing: Commercial-friendly terms protecting the original works from market-replacement (verbatim reproduction).

Safety: Integrated safety tagging and domain-specific classification for responsible AI alignment.

Educational self-help context only; not licensed for emergency clinical or psychiatric instruction.

Custom Dataset Generation:

We are available for custom data-generation projects within our domains of expertise. This includes tailoring datasets to specific taxonomies, safety guidelines, or tone-of-voice requirements for specialized recovery or self-help assistants.

Update Cadence:

We are committed to the ongoing expansion of our catalog. As we digitize and structure additional layers of our multi-decade archive, spanning recovery education, family systems, and lived-experience narratives, we will release updated versions and new collections periodically on Opendatabay.
