I hoped that this App would be useful but it implies that your out-of control drinking is at inappropriate times and places. I drink wine with dinner, most days. I share a bottle with my partner. I can’t substitute that with an activity or mindfulness. I like wine. I also drink water with meals. So I don’t see how this app will help me. I’ve deleted it as it’s not relevant to my lifestyle and I can’t see how it will help me cut down. Will power here I come!
