Give and get support around quitting
These are not quit questions.
- I do a Mon-Fri game post on Quitnet. It's the Nearly Impossible Question, NIQ. I post a NIQ once a day Mon- Fri and post the answer the following evening. (Friday's answer would be given Monday.) Would that be possible to do here?
-I also post a quit prayer Monday- Friday. I'm wondering if that would work here?
-I also post a weekend warrior pledge post with quotes, on Fridays. Would something like that work here?
How and where?? I don't have a clue. Thanks!

There are groups for almost everything here.
You could post your NIQ in a games group. Do you allow people to answer in the comments? If not, then restrict comments. If so, allow comments. Post the answer as a comment the next day.
The quit prayer would go nicely in the "Prayer Circle" group.
Not sure about the weekend warrior pledge - you might request a new group. Mark takes care of that.

Jennifer pointed you in the right direction. Games would probably be good for the NIQ.
Prayer Circle or Christian Quitters or Spiritual and Motivational might be something for your quit prayer. You can also look in https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/docs/DOC-1101-finding-your-group .
Definitely would like to hear more about weekend warrior pledge. We have the Daily Pledge which happens in Celebrations & Events and there are some community traditions that fizzled out in there like the EX Cafe and I'd love to replace it with something.
I currently do the daily quit celebrations that was formerly known as the Freedom Train in Celebrations & Events. We also periodically have a Bonfire to burn the unsmoked cigarettes.
So I'd love to hear your thoughts. As others said we have a group for most things and I try not to create any new groups that won't sustain themselves long-term. But if there is a use-case where something will catch on and be busy I'm all about entertaining creating a new group for people to congregate around some common interest. Or we could improve an existing group if it kind of meets your needs.

Mark Thanks much! I'm gathering ideas. Not going to do anything at the moment.

Thank you for responding.
Cool the the NIQ group could go with games, and it definitely allows comments.
Ok I'll take a look at the Prayer Circle group.
I might hold off on the idea of a warrior pledge, till I get the hang of things.
I have to be careful not to overdue between the quit sites. It may be a little while till I do this.
Thanks!
Baby Steps - I like your ideas!
I like these as well. Would be great to have a little something different and fun on Ex!
