Great App, simple to use to keep track of daily drinking.
Great app for those wanting to track Alcohol free days. It is very straight forward and intuitive to navigate. Targets and achievements to encorage you.
This app is amazing. It's taken me a few years to get dry. Even with professional help. This app really helps me stay on track. I love collecting the teacups. It will help you to cut down . Or stop altogether. Give it a try. I wish you luck. Go earn your teacups . Absolutely brilliant. Cannot recommend it enough . 😁
If you are wanting to stop or reduce your alcohol intake then this app will really help. You collect teacups and can get really accurate information on your progress. It also has great information with up to date blogs to help you to live an alcohol free life
Amazing app - has been really useful for me to track for January and beyond. Setting goals and being able to see my progress has helped me quit alcohol. I would definitely recommend
It's a good app. It worked for me. You obviously need to be ready and mentally in the zone, but it encourages you when you need a little help. Give it a go, you've got nothing to lose. And good luck!
