Show your pride in your Quit!

[smorgy8513]

Many of the people here on the EX have their quit dates tied to their Community Name.

Many have Quit Counters to help them see their progress in years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds as well as how many cigarettes not smoked, how much money saved and how much time you have added to your life.

Amazing huh!

So, I put together a set of directions in how to do these 2 things.  

I'll also put this link on my profile page in case you forget! 

Try it.....I think you'll like it!

BTW......MINIONS RULE!!!!!

HOW  TO  PUT  YOUR  QUIT  DATE  WITH  YOUR  NAME.

Many people have their quit date as part of their name on the EX.     This helps us recognize where you are in your quit as well as to acknowledge the great job you are doing.

1).        On top right of page you will see your name and a little “down arrow”.

2).        Click on down arrow and you will be sent to Edit EX account       

3).        Click on that and you will be sent to Edit Profile  

4).        Right down from the new page you will see Account Information

5).        Click on that and you will be sent to another page.

6).        Several lines down on new page you will see What would you like your community name to be?

This is where you will put in your current online name and then add your quit date behind that.

Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom and click Submit

HOW TO PUT A QUIT COUNTER ON YOUR PROFILE PAGE.

There are different places to get a Quit Counter I think.     I’m going to give you the directions to put on the one from Silk Quit.

1).        Go to SilkQuit.org

2).        On tabs click on Quit Meter

3).        You will see a lot of explanation about what Quit Meter can do….read as you want.

4).        Half way down the page it will tell you to Download meter

5).        Click on     Download SilkQuit v2.60 for Microsoft Windows

6).           There will be a set up window that opens and says: This will install SilkQuit, do you want to continue?

7).           When you say yes it will take you to a screen where you add information about your quit.    Date, how much you smoked, how much a pack cost, etc.         You also get to pick the style you want.

8).           When you get done it will download and put the Quit Counter on your task bar on bottom of page.     It’s always there.

9).           When you want to share this info with others it will tell you how to do that on the Window.

I LOVE my Quit Counter……..hope you love yours too!
