Give and get support around quitting
They have a quit smoking chat room don’t see anyone it right now. Was wondering if anyone has used it?
I have all I can do to keep up with folks here!
Just sharing - the ONLY chat room I know of is when the EXmanager - Sir Mark is working on - this RECOVERY site with NEW updates - He announces it and directs us to a chat room - please - just ask - Sir Mark thank YOU

Oh hmm I had asked previously. Thanks for the info indingrl I'm looking for something during downtime sometimes these posts take awhile for people to respond to!
I mentioned our Admin, so hopefully he will get back to you on Indingrl's comment.
First I'm hearing of Healthful Chat Smoking Cessation Chat .
Yes we do put up a live chat when we have extended downtime for the EX Community.
I think the average response time is around 8 minutes for a post but some obviously some responses are faster than that and others are slower. There is plenty to do on the EX Community while you wait for responses. You can help someone, do one of the https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/groups/best-of-ex/blog/2008/05/03/things-to-do-instead-of-smoking..., participate in a Games, share your Picture, Video & Quote Sharing, share some artwork in Artists.

Thanks Mark. The chat is more of a being healthy chat and as a side there is a quitting smoking chat room. I’m not complaining about this website but I just like chatting with people. I used when I lost my pet and it helped immensely. Love this site but I like to chat too!
Swanbird We don't have anything native on the site yet. We have evaluated some solutions but nothing that would integrate well with our community. I do agree it would be helpful and beneficial to have synchronous chat options so long as that wealth of information share can be discovered by other members of the community because the real value here on the site is that people can come and lurk and find assistance in their quitting process. Certainly we want them to also actively participate but know your words help people who come by and benefit solely from reading.

I just tried that chat room I told you about.It was a complete joke. People weren't talking about smoking cessation or anything to do with health. Just wanted to let you know.
