Stay Quit Coach is based on the smoking treatment manual “Integrated Care for Smoking Cessation: Treatment for Veterans with PTSD,” which was written by Miles McFall and Andrew Saxon in collaboration with David Kalman and Timothy Carmody. This treatment is based on evidence-based clinical practices, and has been shown to double quit rates of military veterans with PTSD. Stay Quit Coach was the result of a collaborative effort among the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) National Center for PTSD (NCPTSD), the VA Sierra Pacific (VISN 21) Mental Illness Research, Education, and Clinical Center (MIRECC), VA Clinical Public Health Group (CPH) and the Department of Defense National Center for Telehealth & Technology (T2). Additional partners include the VA Puget Sound Health Care System and Northwest (VISN 20) MIRECC, and VA Mid-Atlantic (VISN 6) MIRECC.

Great quit smoking app the best
Kendal45

This quit smoking app provided the tools to help me kick the smoking habit after 25 years. The biggest tool was identifying my triggers and implementing a detailed plan "AARM"(avoidance, alternative, replace, mental) . It also provided information on relapse( not to beat yourself up, immediately put out cigarette and recommit yourself and analyze that new trigger and implement the plan. And last it provided information on medications to quit smoking.

Thank you for creating this app. There are some personal flaws I see. There in no way for me to go into the app and re-open or open a motivational messages. I do get a notification but am unable to open it fully to see the entire message. There is no way to go to the app and open it. I would also like to be able to share the messages and am unable to. Nothing can be share in the app right now. I do like the fact that it can figure up how much I am saving. However I would like to share that information. There are tools, guides/plans for triggers and so much more. If you could add the request I have the I would see this app as being top notch.
