Use Cases

This skill is designed for individuals seeking to reduce or eliminate alcohol consumption. Common use cases include:

• Daily accountability tracking to visualize progress over time.
• Identifying external or emotional triggers for cravings through logged usage data.
• Financial planning by tracking daily savings that would have otherwise been spent on alcohol.
• Crisis management support by providing quick access to local recovery resources and hotlines.
• Goal setting, such as preparing for specific milestones like 30, 90, or 365 days of sobriety.

Example Prompts

• "I'm feeling a strong craving right now; give me a distraction activity."
• "How much money have I saved since my start date on January 1st?"
• "What is my next recovery milestone, and how many days until I reach it?"

Tips & Limitations

Success relies on honest, consistent logging. While the dashboard offers excellent insights, remember that this tool is not a substitute for clinical medical advice. Alcohol withdrawal can be physically dangerous; if you experience severe symptoms, contact a healthcare professional immediately. Use the 'trigger' logging feature consistently to build a long-term map of your recovery needs. The skill's primary limitation is the lack of cloud synchronization; since data is stored locally for privacy, be sure to manage your own file backups if you move between devices.
