So far so good Jessica, but I’m concerned about “and I don’t have to be perfect along the way” as it looks like you are taking an idea I propose in the course and applying it to your goal of abstinence, which is not a fit. Abstinence isn’t the same as having a bit of soda now and then.
Would you be able to pull that off? I’ve no idea, and expect you would know much better than me.
