    You're smashing it @doingitanyway. 👌

    I've found a blue biro spot on my column on the wall calendar is helping me keep my focus. Red dots for a drinkypoo day and visualising it I can see where I've had drinks 4 nights in a row and that in the coming week I've got 2 days leeway etc. just helps keep my focus. My ex I'm living with has started skinny jabs the past 2 weeks and I've noticed it's inadvertently put her off the wine as well.
