September 2021: Welcome new members!

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. Come back to the community.
  3. Look at your profile (round avatar image in upper right then choose My Profile) and confirm your correct date is showing.

@sprince8412 It counts how much approximate time you're quit.  There is an issue with the calculation currently for certain dates where it will show funny math like this (because of leap year day). We're working on getting it fixed so doesn't display oddly.  So it's 372 days - 365 days= 7 days, 14 hours, 29 mins and 15 seconds. Sorry for the confusion! Since the calculator on the community is showing oddly for you you can look at your calculator on My EX Plan until it's fixed.

I am not sure how to link my profile, but my goal date is set for October 3rd. I am using nicotine patches and they help a lot although I am waiting to get the pick package for the longer term processed stages so I can come out on top of my goal of being smoke free.

You updated your quit date. it's showing in your profile @mcbridejem127 . You can go to your profile by clicking your avatar in the upper right of the screen or your username anywhere on the site and then click the "view profile" option on the profile card that shows on the screen.

Thank you Mark for the welcome. My name is Joyce I’m 44 and I’ve been smoking cigarettes for over 15 yrs. I need to quit for my health before it gets bad. Plus my husband and a friend of mine wants me to quit for my health as well. I’m disabled in a wheelchair a good part of time my right leg below my knee has been amputated due to diabetes I’ve already lost all my toes on my left foot due too diabetes as well. A pack of smokes last me about a day now where it used to last a day an a half. Hope everyone has a great day.
