Read a member curated list of EX Community content over 10+ years
AS OF March 13, 2021
Total 520
This is a compilation of members who are part of the 6% club - those with a ONE YEAR QUIT or more who have not taken one puff of a cigarette or e-cig, or chawed on a chew (or is that chewed on a chaw?) since their quit date. A very elite group indeed! Those who are active Elders, (i.e. those offering support on a regular basis) will have a smiley face beside their names. If you are active and don't have a smiley, let me know.
Newbies - this is for you. Every one of these people has been where you are. And every one of them became a successful quitter. YOU CAN TOO! Check out their blogs. Read. Learn. Do. Nothing makes us happier than adding a new Elder to the list!
Please note: If you relapse (even one puff) you will be removed from the list until you have achieved another 365 days smoke-free. NOPE means NOPE.
I will attempt to update it as often as I can. Any errors or if you've been omitted by accident, please let me know. What an amazing group!
(NOTE: You can switch from alphabetical order to chronological order simply by clicking on the Quit Date heading. It acts as a toggle. One click for alphabetical one click to go back to chronological or visa versa.)

You BET this is where the cool kids hang out! And you'd better stay that way! IN WITH THE IN CROWD!
Where's Moody?
Elder's who are no longer active on a regular basis are removed from the list.
Thank You, G!
You are so diligent! This isn't easy AT ALL!
G I know that you have probably put the guidelines out there before - but how long of a period of inactivity before someone is removed?
Initially I said that an Elder needed to post SOMETHING within a one-year period. But then I thought, stopping by once a year on one's anniversary isn't really offering support on an on-going basis. And what IS an Elder, after all? Just someone who made the 6% Club? I think to be an Elder it behooves you to stick around and share your wisdom with newbies on a fairly regular basis. It's a position of honor and as such requires a certain commitment to help others.
That didn't answer your question, I know. Ideally I think an Elder should participate at least once a month? But it gets tricky because some people offer support on blogs but don't write one themselves. And that's hard to keep track of. I don't think there can be a hard and fast rule because of that. First I look at the Elder's blog list and the dates they wrote them, then I look at their Activity box, and if they're listed (and not just their friends), I look at the last dates there was activity from them. If it was like 175 days ago, that's an indication that they're not very active. But to specify: you MUST participate X number of days a month or whatever, first takes all the joy out of support because then it simply become a duty, and second - life happens. Some months are more busy than others, vacations, crises, etc. We generally know on here whether someone is active on a regular basis or not. And Sharon and I run this by each other before making any changes. We don't LIKE removing people from the list. And it certainly is not meant to be a punishment.
But this list is here so that newbies can find active Elders who are willing to help them. I've been toying with the idea of having an Inactive Elder list. And I have all the names of those who have been removed. I just wonder if it would muddy and dilute the waters.
If you have a suggestions as to how to refine the process, or what you think the guidelines should be, shout it out. The only thing that's engraved in stone is the requirement that an Elder be quit for a one-year period and hold fast to the NOPE tenet.
This is an awesome list. Hopefully we can make it more automated in the future as we work on improving the community. Certainly there has been some sweat put into establishing and maintaining this list. Thank You!!!!
