How does Quitzilla help me stop drinking?
It keeps the count for you. When you add Alcohol, you set the time of your last drink, enter what drinking cost you in money, time or both, and choose your reasons. Then the timer runs to the second, your savings grow with it, and a ring fills as you near the next goal. One caution: if you drink heavily every day, stopping suddenly can be dangerous, so talk to a doctor before you stop. Quitzilla doesn't replace medical help or support groups.
What happens if I slip and have a drink?
Record it as a relapse in the diary. Your timer and progress toward the current goal start over from the time you enter, while your diary, earlier alcohol-free periods and records stay. The entry can also hold what you spent and a note about what led up to it, like a wedding, a hard day at work or a quiet night alone. Reading those notes back later can help you see your triggers.
How does Quitzilla work out the money and time I save?
Tell Quitzilla what drinking costs you in a typical day, week or month: rounds at the bar, bottles from the store, the ride home. Add the time it takes too, such as long evenings out. The app multiplies both by the time since your last drink, so the totals climb day by day. Money goes toward rewards you name and price, and hours go into time investments such as reading or exercise.
Can I use Quitzilla for a month off drinking, like Dry January?
Yes. Add Alcohol when your month starts and make 1 month your current goal. The ring fills as the days go by, and the counter can count down the time that's left instead. When you reach the month, Quitzilla celebrates and sets the next goal, in case you decide to keep going.
Is Quitzilla free?
Yes. On iPhone and Android, the free version covers up to two habits, so drinking and, say, smoking can each have their own timer. The diary, your reasons, built-in goals, savings and rewards are all included. With Premium you get unlimited habits, charts, home screen widgets, your own custom goals and a color of your choice for each habit.
