And what it has saved you
At the app's default of £8 a day, 3 days without a drink is about £24 you did not spend. Put in your own figure — it takes a second.
Days Strong shows you where you are on this timeline, keeps the count when you forget to open it, and never takes a day off you for a bad one. No account, and it all stays on your phone.
