Hello Everyone,

As you know by now, I think using text messaging in our daily lives is the neatest thing since the invention of bacon.  In keeping with this philosophy,  all of you who truly want to quit smoking or overeating or anything else, for that matter, read the following excerpt and take that first step to becoming what your parents always wanted you to be, “A Quitter.”  (Smile) 

Stop Smoking: If you’re working on quitting smoking, you can track your progress by using text messaging. You can also send journal updates to the site, keeping a record of where you’ve had problems and where it’s gotten easier.

It’s so easy:

1.
Create an account. Creating a free account allows you to send updates to your friends via the web, instant messaging or your cell phone.

2.
Tell us when you smoke. Each time you light up, send us the number of cigarettes you just smoked by posting an update in the following format.
@iquit 3. This will tell us you just smoked 3 cigarettes. Every day, we will add together all the posts you sent that day and add them to your progress graph.

3.
Alternatively, post once a day with the total number of cigarettes you plan to smoke.

4.
Save a journal. You can keep track of your thoughts and feelings as you stop smoking. Send us a message that doesn’t start with a number, and we will add it to your journal. For example, @iquit I really want a smoke. I hope this gets easier.

5.
Track your progress, get help from others and stop smoking.
