This is great fun!

Some sort of feedback loop might be useful. I don't profess to understand the 12 steps (and not to trivialise by comparison) but I guess counting the number of successful days of not doing something in a chain becomes reinforcing e.g. when has a smoker actually stopped smoking?

Or alternatively is the payoff a reward e.g. "Dont eat a donut for 6 days if then eat a donut else try again"
