Can we help you quit sooner? (January 2023)

Every couple months 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.

I am working on it im down to two to three times a day now, even though im going through a unbelievably  stressful  situation  right now. That is one reason ive given my self a grace period.

Hey Mark! Today I received my Nicotine patches and lozenges.  I smoked this morning before I received the package in the mail. Once I opened it, I made a promise to myself not to smoke even one cigarette a day. I packed all my packs, lighters and everything would remind me of smoking and got rid of it. I am trying to keep myself busy, chew gum, listen to music,  read and take deep breaths when I am facing any of my triggers. I know that it hasn't been long since I smoked my last, but I am not going back and I mean it. I really wanted to thank y'all for this website and the team that is so dedicated to help us all!.
