Can we help you quit sooner? (July 2021)

[CommunityAdmin]

Every couple months, near the end of the month I look for people who have a quit date more than 50 days in the future. You're mentioned below because it appears you have a quit date set more than 50 days in the future. The EX Community is a place you can successfully quit, many have since 2008!

We're really glad that people come to EX every day to quit. Some are excited to get started while others are apprehensive for their own reasons.  We get that.  But we want to help with that apprehension and any worries they have to help make quitting as easy as it can be. Part of that apprehension is having the information so you can feel more confident in making a change sooner than later. Whether you're chewing, vaping or smoking, EX is the place to get information and resources to help with your quit journey.

Unsure of what the impact/benefit might be? Go to the Quit Calculator to find out. Put in your quit date to see how many days from your quit date (indicated by negative number). If you smoke you can also find out how many cigarettes you can avoid (indicated by negative number).

Have questions? The others mentioned with you likely have the same concerns so we encourage you to ask. Feel free to post them as as reply and other members of EX (experienced quitters and those who have started their quit journey) will respond to your questions.  I'll try to organize the questions and answers so they're easy to see.

Mark, Not sure where you got that date. I quit on February 9th.

@Jflieder Congrats.  I do see your quit date says 2/9 but it says 2022 instead of 2021.  I'll get that updated.

My quit date is 4/1/21…almost at the 4 month mark.  🥳

I remember receiving a text asking about my quit date. I entered 4/1 and it pushed my date forward a year. I figured it was a programmer error… Would you update me too please?

[CommunityAdmin]

@KtCuz No worries.  Curious if you updated it via text message? Yes, I can get that updated for you. 🙂

@KtCuz and @Jflieder your dates are updated now. Thanks for responding to let me know. We're looking at how we can make the texting experience for updating quit date better so it doesn't mix up the year.
