Can we help you quit sooner? (Feb 2022)

[CommunityAdmin]

Every couple months I look for people who have a quit date more than 50 days in the future. You're mentioned below because it appears you have a quit date set more than 50 days in the future. The EX Community is a place you can successfully quit, many have since 2008!

We're really glad that people come to EX every day to quit. Some are excited to get started while others are apprehensive for their own reasons.  We get that.  But we want to help with that apprehension and any worries they have to help make quitting as easy as it can be. Part of that apprehension is having the information so you can feel more confident in making a change sooner than later. Whether you're chewing, vaping or smoking, EX is the place to get information and resources to help with your quit journey.

Unsure of what the impact/benefit might be? Go to the Quit Calculator to find out. Put in your quit date to see how many days from your quit date (indicated by negative number). If you smoke you can also find out how many cigarettes you can avoid (indicated by negative number).

Have questions? The others mentioned with you likely have the same concerns so we encourage you to ask. Feel free to post them as as reply and other members of EX (experienced quitters and those who have started their quit journey) will respond to your questions.  I'll try to organize the questions and answers so they're easy to see.

I have tried to quit many times in the past. I found this site around January first because I really wanted to quit this time. After reading everything, i decided to push my quit date out to January 28th, make a plan, read thru everything on here, and try again. I'm happy to say I have not had a cig since the afternoon of january 27th! It's not easy, it's not a walk in the park, it's not unicorns and rainbows, but its worth it!! Right now I'm dealing with the headache and sleeplessness stage, but I've seen many others have gone thru this too. Everyone here is ready to help with their best advice! Everytime I needed support, it was always offered. This is an amazing support group!

@Aherrington90 Thanks for sharing about you as a means to help and encourage others to start their journey to freedom as soon as they can.  Hopefully some will take us up on that offer.

I'm not sure why my quit day is wrong..my date was 2021, not 2022.. I'm actually doing quite well with no setbacks.

@Sherrirn2 no worries, we can get that fixed.  Thanks for checking in.
