Greetings, EX Community members, Knights of N.O.P.E., quitters new and experienced! As many of you are well aware, the path to quitting tobacco is a challenging journey, laden with obstacles and cravings that demand considerable strength to overcome. This is a journey you don't have to undertake alone. There's a whole community here, a supportive network, ready to share your triumphs and trials.
Today, we'd like to extend an invitation to an event designed to offer camaraderie, guidance, and above all, understanding: the EX Café.
What is the EX Café?
The EX Café is a warm and welcoming monthly event held via Zoom that caters to individuals seeking to liberate themselves from the clutches of tobacco. Our mission is to provide an engaging platform where you can meet others embarking on a similar journey, exchange stories, and inspire each other to stay strong.
Each month, we feature expert facilitators from the Mayo Clinic's esteemed Nicotine Dependence Center. They are there to offer insight, guidance, and answer any questions you may have about your quit journey. While we can't mention the specific coaches in advance, as they vary each month, rest assured that each one brings a unique and invaluable perspective to our discussions.
But that's not all the EX Café is about. We believe that to succeed in quitting, we need not just knowledge, but also connection and camaraderie. The EX Café is a social gathering to foster those bonds. It's a space where it's okay to struggle, where you can share your challenges and victories, and where you can lend an ear to others who need it. Our community thrives on mutual support and encouragement.
