Give and get support around quitting
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:
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.

Thanks Mark! That was great info to get me started! I'm on day 6 of not smoking after being at it for 15 years! While my husband isn't ready to quit, he has gone from 1/2 pack a day to 1 pack a week to help me get over my wants
That's great! Perhaps you can share periodically helpful things you've learned to pique his interest. Maybe he'll warm up to the idea over time if he sees you have success.

AnnaM0912 Sometimes, being a really good example can have a lot of influence. My oldest daughter quit over 3 years ago partly because I talked about EX all the time and I talked about my FREEDOM...not having to look for a place to smoke, not worrying about the time it took...it's a HUGE step. Congratulations to you AND your husband and welcome to EX.

Welcome! You can do this! Stay present in this moment and pay attention! Your body knows how to heal - it's your brain that is the real trick!
