Welcome to the Ex drewbuttery 

  Have you picked a quit date?   Are you going to use and aid or quit cold turkey?  Spend time on the site educating yourself about nicotine addiction and creating a quit plan.  My EX Plan | BecomeAnEX  Knowledge and preparation lead to success.    Most of us have smoked a very long time.   I smoked for 50 years and just celebrated 2 years smoke free yesterday.   The people on this site are great examples that you can do it too.  The support here is fabulous.   I know how much it contributed to my success.  We're here to support you any time you need encouragement or just want to share your journey.  

I signed up from text messages from the Ex prior to my quit.  I found them very motivating and added an element of excitement leading up to my quit date.  Also, taking the Daily Pledge not to smoke each day it a great way to begin your day smoke free.

Evening, my name is Coco. Today is my first day. I've tried many times before for different reasons, times in my life. I had a great quit 2 years ago and I want that back. I'm turning 50 this year and my goal is to be smoke free by 50. I've been smoking since I was 17 or 18.

  Congrats on starting your journey again. Each time you get stronger. Now is a great time to quit #quarantinequit‌ I also have recently quit. If you did it before, you can do it again!! If you feel yourself slipping reach out!!

Welcome Coco!

Congrats on your quit journey! It's showing that your quit date is 4/22/2016 so you'll need to logout(<--- click that link) and then back in for it to sync your new quit date to the community.

I'll be doing that soon, right after I set a new quit date in 1-2 weeks. Thanks again...
