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.

*To see your quit stats:  Hover over your username and then click the EX icon in lower left of the pop-up hovercard OR go to your profile and then click the tab for My Quit Stats.

Thank you for the mention. Am I signed up enough to get my patches and gum?

[CommunityAdmin]

aprilbutler‌  In order to receive patches or gum your health plan provider or employer must sponsor you through The EX Program. If you think you are then I'll need to get some more info for you. If you're not sponsored then you should check with your state's quitline (800-QUIT-NOW), your county health department or your health care provider for your options.  Some things are available over the counter so you do not need any prescription and can be purchased at your big box retailers in generic forms for cheaper than cigarettes.

Hi Mark, I am heading into day 5, staying busy at my desk job. My coworkers are smokers so I miss the outside breaks. BUT, I MUST quit. I really have no choice.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I am trying to familiarize myself with how to navigate the site by looking at different options as I go. By 7/12 I should have a better idea of how to get around

Check out the Getting Started Guide and other "how to" things in the Community Help‌.  Just exploring will help as well and will distract you as you learn.
