quitSTART - Quit Smoking

I actually had quit on December 4 but only saw this program today so I’m joining a little late but it helps and it makes a difference when you have to own it every day. I actually look forward to when I have to make my journal entry and it’s positive for once it’s positive so today I am smoke free.

Swamped by memes and badges. Nil human interaction. Very confusing app to use.

This app is so much fun. I love the “distract me” section, unfortunately it wasn’t consistently working so I uninstalled and reinstalled and lost most of my progress. But hey at least now I have 0 slips. Between this app and Quit Sure, I had all the tools I needed to quit smoking and this version was free. The Quit Sure had more of a brain changing component in a faster setting. This gives great tips and in a DIY method.

None of the games in Distract Me will load anymore. Boo

Smoking is a complex habit which has many impacts on a person’s life and health. I found some of the app features helpful however others were far too simplistic. For instance on sign in one is given 1 of 5 emotions were available to express. No tired, no frustrated, no exhausted, no bored…

I hv way more moods then the 5 offered. You need to add more. It asks my mood when I need help but only has a few. My moods aren’t listed. Till u update this it’s not worth using this app.

I quit smoking 2 weeks prior to joining quitStart. I had joined another program, they would do a coaching call about 2 times a month, but this program communicates with you daily. This is better for me to stay on the smokeless path. I enjoy the check ins and advice tips

This app is helpful. Great for reminders and to keep what needs to be in your head in your head. Good info. The games to distract you don’t ever really work. This app is good but could improve.

Quitting smoking is a mindset. Setting a date and having all the support and tools one needs is imperative. My PCP said that typically, nicotine is out of your system generally within 7 days. I wound up giving half the patches and lozenges away and just stayed with the app. I lost all urges within 10 days. Not everyone will get the same results as fast as I did. My body was telling me it was time to quit. Listen to your body.

I have smoked for 39 years. I was not happy to have to quit smoking. I have to have a surgery that I need to quit for. I never thought I would be able to do it. Yes it is me that has done it but quit start has definitely definitely helped! It doesn’t drive you crazy but it’s there along your journey. Thank you so much.😊
