April 2019: Welcome new members!

[CommunityAdmin]

The April 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 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 new members of EX, please check out  my post above to set a quit date if you haven't already(thank you if you have!) and then get it sync'd to the community! You'll want it sync'd so we can celebrate your milestones and you can look at your quit stats in your profile. 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 for the Welcome! I found this incredible site Via the Smoke Free app somehow! I'm actually going on day 27. Started this umpteenth time of quitting with Chantix but I;m doing it this time! My Mother, who is a smoker had a stroke about a month and a half ago and my children let me know clearly that smoking is like the #2 cause of strokes. I've got to get more healthy!

That's great that you found us via the Smoke Free app, though I'm not familiar with it.  So what is your actual quit date?

My actual Quit date was March 5th.
Smoke Free - Quit Smoking Now 
I'm just using the Free side. But it's a very good App!!
