Most sobriety apps are a number and a reset button. Rooted is something you grow. Your clean time becomes a living plant across 100 frames, seed to bloom, and every daily check-in waters it. Slip and it is pruned, never deleted: you lose some growth, then it regrows at double speed, and everything you have written stays. The streak forgives two missed days a month. Tending something that visibly needs you turns out to be a better reason to show up than a number that can erase itself.
