Where is the app to start e.g. drinking, it is morally relativistic to say these are 'bad habits'

If you can track "anything else", I guess you can track your drinking streak, your days without exercising, how long you spent without calling your mom, or whatever "good habit" you want to quit.

I don't think that's what most people are looking for though.

  • There are definitely apps to track your drinking, although mainly with the intent of encouraging moderation. Not everyone wants to stop drinking entirely, just drink a bit less.

Perhaps reflect on how lucky you are that you don't have any understanding or empathy for why some people might really need an app like this

This comment isn’t even technically correct — OP frames it as quitting bad habits and then suggests common problems people have, eg people who want to quit drinking or smoking habits that negatively impact their lives. You then parsed that uncharitably (by ignoring context) to make a snarky remark.

Edgy midwit nihilism is so blasé.
