For some reason my quit date said 1 week smoke free. I quit smoking on March 20, 2017 at 12:00 a.m., can you change my quit date to reflect that date. I am not sure how this all works.

Hey Happy_Together . please see pinned post on milestone badges which explains how it works - put you up yesterday as over 1 week smoke free, your next milestone badge will be at 1 month, it keeps us motivated but if you feel you need more or a daily tracker, perhaps download a tracker app, there is a good one on Quitza if you want to have a look.

I don't know why it say 1 week smoke free but my quit date was 3/20/17 so today i am working on my 23rd day...and feeling great. I didn't have a super hard time quitting, or it was not as hard as I envisioned but the hardest part is the mental part, it is like ending a relationship with someone that you know is bad for you but you keep on going back for more! Example, Sunday I got irritated with someone and after I left their home, all I thought about was having a cigarette, and initially was fantasizing on how that stupid cigarette would make me feel so much better. Then I caught myself and redirected my mind. Was it a big craving as in nicotine withdrawal - no - it was my relationship with smoking. But, i know that is a big lie and with the strength of God I will proclaim "I am an ex-smoker"

Love this sight, thank you everyone for being so welcoming....
