I used to use wooden matchsticks to count the number of shots I had...you know, so I wouldn't have more than, say, eight ounces a day.
Eight ounces??!! When did I begin to think eight ounces was an acceptable amount?
Then I would forget if I had put my matchstick down or not...so really that didn't work that well.
Then I would try to make a fifth last three days. Usually two was the max.
Then I would forget if it was day two or three, or one. . .
I tried keeping track in OneNote on the computer. Can't keep track once loaded.
Yeah. Then it was more and more difficult to get any kind of buzz unless I started with four ounces.
Then I could not keep that buzz going. Then I couldn't sleep.
Logs work really well.
