Excellent

I've been using this app for years. It helps me a lot to identify periods of regular drinking and periods of sobriety. It's great for setting goals and challenging yourself to keep sober.

Great but needs more badges

Please extend add additional badges to each of the day streak, calendar streak, moderator, reducer, and total dry days categories! I’ve used this app for just over 5 years but there’s few badges left to achieve, making it less useful.
