January 2019: Welcome new members!

The January Quitters and New Years Day Quitters have arrived!

 

There are always new members joining the community. A portion of those new members haven't set or haven't synced their quit date to the community so we can help celebrate your milestones.  

 

I'll be welcoming our new members and encourage you to get your quit date set and synced to the community so we can help you celebrate when you hit those milestones.

 

To get started you'll need to do the following:

  1. Set your quit date on your Set Your Quit Date | Guides & Tools | BecomeAnEX  (or make sure it's set if you aren't sure.)
  2. Log out of the community by clicking this link.
  3. Then log back in to the community.

 

When you log back in it will sync it over so it appears on your community profile. If your quit date is synced and you've indicated how many cigarettes you used to consume before you quit(update it in your community profile, otherwise we assume 20/day), your Quit Stats* will calculate how many days you've been quit and how many cigarettes you've avoided.

 

Be sure to check out our Getting Started Guide to learn about how to do other things on the site.

Welcome, please check out  my post above to set a quit date and get it sync'd to the community! If you're unsure about what day to pick, check out this for suggestions.  If you haven't filled out your community profile or uploaded a picture get that set up too. We'd love to hear from you and see where you are in your quit journey!

Thanks Mark! That was great info to get me started! I'm on day 6 of not smoking after being at it for 15 years! While my husband isn't ready to quit, he has gone from 1/2 pack a day to 1 pack a week to help me get over my wants

That's great! Perhaps you can share periodically helpful things you've learned to pique his interest. Maybe he'll warm up to the idea over time if he sees you have success.

AnnaM0912  Sometimes, being a really good example can have a lot of influence.  My oldest daughter quit over 3 years ago partly because I talked about EX all the time and I talked about my FREEDOM...not having to look for a place to smoke, not worrying about the time it took...it's a HUGE step.  Congratulations to you AND your husband and welcome to EX.
