app for alcoholics
Permalink  
 

I'm pretty new here and wanted to just throw in my suggestion based upon the welfare of alcoholics. I'm a student and currently undergoing the mobile app development coaching in a Toronto based institution. I'm currently working for an app which tracks the progress youve made by quitting anything, from coffee and junk food to heroin and meth. It tracks the days and hours since you stopped and also how much money youve saved. Theres no limit to the number of bad habits or addictions you can track and, thankfully, no ads or tiresome prompts to deal with. What you guys have to say on this? Do you want me to add any additional feature?

Looks possibly useful...

 

Quit That

What it does: This app tracks the progress youve made by quitting anything, from coffee and junk food to heroin and meth. It tracks the days and hours since you stopped and also how much money youve saved. Theres no limit to the number of bad habits or addictions you can track and, thankfully, no ads or tiresome prompts to deal with.

What real reviewers say: Pros: Simple but amazing. I have used this app and it motivates me to keep moving ahead with my goals. Cons: I thought the app would be better if it could show how many calories I have cut down since I started trying to lose weight.

Free for iTunes (supported by Apple Watch)

Actually, I do have a couple of suggestions.

How about a 'tool' that can send you encouraging feedback from time to time, like a simple 2-line devotional or even some of A.A's more popular slogans; and what about an encouraging word or some kind of uplifting message, that would certainly help.

And why were at it, what about a progress meter that can highlight certain achievements along the way, like 90, 180 or even 365 days sober. Maybe even a virtual chip to coincide with your actual chip.

These are just a few simple suggestions. I am curious to hear about your progress, though. If you can provide us with some updates that would be great. Good luck.
