Get ready for your quit date on 10/15/20

[CommunityAdmin]

Hi again!

You've probably seen a message from me previously welcoming you to the community. From what I can see it appears your quit date is coming up in a week from now.  To get ready for that date it's good to prepare yourself. Below are a short list of things you can do to prepare yourself for your quit date. Other EXperienced quitters of the EX Community may come along and share their quit wisdom as well. Keep an open mind as you start an amazing journey!

          
• Read through our Getting Started Guide and Complete your profile.  
• Get really familiar with your My EX Plan | BecomeAnEX  and complete as many steps as possible. 
• Get reading both on My EX Plan | BecomeAnEX  and here on the EX Community(especially the Best of EX)
• Prepare a Quit kit.
• Ensure you have NRT (if you plan on using it). You may need to call 800-QUIT-NOW if your employer/health plan provider doesn't sponsor you here on EX. Look for Sponsorship section under Edit Profile.
• Plan out a routine change.
• Have a list of craving busters and craving buster techniques.
• Prevent Relapse and check out Relapse Prevention.
• Bookmark the EX Community so you can get back here quickly when you have a craving.
• Prepare your friends and family and write a letter to a loved one.
• Write a goodbye letter to vaping/smoking/chewing.
• What To Expect In The First Four Months.
• Read about other's quit journeys.

If I've somehow gotten your quit date wrong, my apologies. Please ensure your quit date is up to date by following these steps:

            
1. Ensure your quit date is set on My Quit Plan.
2. Log out of the community. Use this link. (Logging out of My Quit Plan will not work.)
3. Log back into BecomeAnEX.org so your quit date will sync from My Quit Plan to the community.
4. Go to your profile (round avatar in upper right of page and click view profile) and click your My Quit Stats tab to see if your date has been updated.

Am still smoking. Sorry but haven't been posting much, just reading posts occasionally. I have no new quit date at present, dealing with some health issues has kept me busy. Will get in touch, Mark, at a later date . Stay safe brother...

Sorry to hear that. You could set your quit date out in the future and then work your plan and the update it as you know better about when you feel you can successfully quit.

Don't give up.  Start with a plan and a date.
