June 2019: Welcome new members!

[CommunityAdmin]

The June 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.

Set and Sync Quit Date

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 into 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.

I'm on day 5. Today is more of a struggle than the previous 4.

You can do it! I'll tell you what someone said that has helped me

immensely. Just say "I may want one, I dont need one. I dont have any, and

i wont get any" it helps me to calm down and see i dont need it just really

really want it! After a time it feels good to say "no" to yourself!

That's the way this journey goes MomOf3GrandmaOf3‌.  They don't call it a roller coaster ride for nothing.  Trust us who have "been there, done that" that it will get better.  Here's a little play I wrote about the kind of inner thinking that went on in my own brain during the journey.  It may give you some idea of how it changes en route.  /blogs/Giulia-blog/2016/09/06/a-quit-dialogue-in-iv-acts?sr=search&searchId=3d51b69f-b9a0-4640-841a-...‌  Or at least how my thought process changed.  Some days are just gonna be harder than others.  Sometimes for a very good reason, like stress, or disappointment or "life happening," in some way, or just "because."  But the more distance you put between your new non-smoking self and you old self, the easier the days will become.  It helped me to think of it as a rite of passage from adolescent to adulthood.  Have to get through those teenage years.  So you just keep hanging in!

MomOf3GrandmaOf3‌ Congrats on day 6! Did you quit early?  I see MomOf3GrandmaOf3 Quit stats  shows 3ish days and your profile has 6/15/19.

You can update your quit date on Set Your Quit Date | Guides & Tools | BecomeAnEX if it is wrong.
