What is next
You are past the last point the timeline names. From here it is the same thing every day, which is the part nobody writes about and the part that actually works.
And what it has saved you
At the app's default of £4 a day, 1 year without a vape is about £1,278 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.
General guidance, not medical advice. Talk to a doctor before making changes if you have any health concerns. The whole timeline.
