REBUILT · Your start-here guide

Welcome to
your next chapter.

If you’ve joined REBUILT, this is your guide to getting started. Begin gently: one lesson, one reflection and one small action.

This public guide does not confirm payment or unlock the course. Your enrolment and access details arrive by email.

A welcome from Jamie

Why I built
AFTER BEFORE.

Before your first lesson, you can watch Jamie’s introduction. There’s no requirement to share his story or complete the programme at his pace.

01

Find your access email

Use the email address entered at Stripe checkout. Access is sent within 24 hours. Check your inbox, spam and promotions folders for AFTER BEFORE, REBUILT or Systeme.io.

02

Open the members’ area

Follow the link in your access email to set up your account. Returning members can use the members’ area button above with the same checkout email. Bookmark the course in your usual browser so you can return easily on your phone, laptop or PC.

03

Choose your starting route

Start with Module 3.1, the honest snapshot, then choose recovery, ADHD or both below. Read the safety guidance first; do not use a course exercise to manage withdrawal.

04

Try one small action

Read one lesson. Expand the reflection box and write what feels useful. Choose one action before moving on. There is no deadline and no need to finish everything in one sitting.

Choose a place to begin

Your story.
Your starting point.

Tools for an ordinary day

Keep what helps.
Make it yours.

What do you need today?

Inside the guided course tools, find a relevant lesson for overwhelm, task paralysis, a difficult evening, a support conversation or returning after a gap.

My REBUILT Toolkit

Gather your routines, warning signs, first responses, boundaries and support contacts. Bring in saved guided worksheets, edit your choices and download a private copy.

Practise real situations

Work through illustrative scenarios such as payday, an unanswered message or an unopened form. Adapt the response to your life rather than copying a perfect answer.

Notice what changes

Keep a starting point and later reviews. Record what you tried, what happened and what still needs support. There is no clinical score or pass mark.

Your written work stays in the browser where you write it. Downloads are private, unencrypted HTML files you can read offline or print / save as PDF. They are not an automatic cross-device backup. Older worksheet versions and other browsers are not imported.

Phone, laptop or PC

The same programme.
A screen that fits.

Use your usual browser

The same lessons are available through the members’ area on mobile and desktop. You can read and write on the device that feels most comfortable.

Keep written answers in one browser

Written answers save locally when browser storage is available. To return to those answers, use the same device and browser profile.

Keep a copy of anything important

Clearing website data, changing browser or using private browsing can remove or prevent saved answers. Copy important reflections into a private document you control.

Remember who can use your device

Local saving is not an encrypted private vault. Someone who can use your unlocked browser may see your written answers. Avoid shared devices for personal reflections.

Course access across devices and written-answer syncing are different. Local written answers do not automatically follow you to another device. Read the privacy notice.
