January 2019: Welcome new members!

[CommunityAdmin]

The January Quitters and New Years Day 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.

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.

maryfreecig‌ I love your biography. I’ve never heard such truth about cigarettes put in such words. Very Awesome!

Thank you Ajjn2015! Lets keep passing on our smoking/smobriety stories to help one another!

I am trying my best. I have not slipped yet. I quit December 23, 2018. I don’t sign in too often because typing or texting was my biggest trigger and it’s still can be sometimes. Wish I could be more helpful to others but I am sure I will be able to do so sooner or later.

How ya doin' kid?  36 is like the best time in the world to quit smoking.  Keep aiming for that Best of you.  You can do this thing called quitting.  Really you can.  Don't let that thought go.  Ok?  Ajjn2015

Thanks! I am still hanging in there. Typing or texting was my biggest trigger and still can be sometimes. That’s why I am not as active on here at the moment. Thanks for checking on me.

SO GLAD YOU'RE STILL IN THE RACE!!!!  If typing and texting is a trigger, just stay away from here!  (You can imagine how I hate to say that.  But you do what you gotta to stay free.)  Just reading is enough.  So do keep reading at least.

I suppose you could read and use voice to text

Great to hear from you...I used to have a terrible time talking on the phone...NOW, I pace while I talk and I invariably get short of breath. Triggers need to be avoided until you accept that they are not in charge...YOU are.  Read as much as possible, that saved me.
