June 2019: Welcome new members!

The June 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.

 

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. Log out of the community by clicking this link.
  3. Then log back into 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.

*To see your quit stats:  Hover over your username and then click the EX icon in lower left of the pop-up hovercard OR go to your profile and then click the tab for My Quit Stats.

Welcome new members of EX, please check out  my post above to set a quit date if you haven't already(thank you if you have!) and then get it sync'd to the community! You'll want it sync'd so we can celebrate your milestones and you can look at your quit stats in your profile. If you haven't filled out your community profile or uploaded a picture get that set up too. We'd love to hear from you and see where you are in your quit journey!

We don't allow you to enter first and last name on the community for privacy reasons since you can change your privacy settings for certain profile fields.  You can enter your name on your edit profile however it doesn't sync to the community.

Hello!

My name is Henry and I am 45 hours smoking free! It has been hard. But what

I found has helped me a lot was to keep a water bottle with cigarette butts

in it in my car. Everytime I want to smoke, I look at it and think that I

put more than twice that into my lungs everyday. Its nasty!!

Good luck all

Thanks for sharing what works for you.  It may help others as well.

Congrats on your 45 hrs smoke-free!
