Have you been following along, reading posts, but too nervous to actually pull the trigger and start your quit? Does just the thought of waking up and knowing you can't have a smoke give your belly butterflies and cause severe anxiety? Afraid you can't handle the let down of having yet another failure on top of the umpteen past failures? That pretty much sums up me a bit over a month ago. After 40 yrs of smoking, I'd been through a lot of "count down is made but no lift off" tries plus 6 attempts where I actually got past 3 days but failed in less than a month. But I'm glad as heck I decided to try one more time or I would not be at day 34 of my quit. My best quit in the past was only 18days. What was different this time? If I knew, I'd write a book and be a millionaire. I can tell you that having a support group has been extremely helpful. If I had to give my best guess, that would be it. I spent a lot of time on here when I quit 34 days ago (cold turkey). I read new posts, old posts, introduced myself, commented on about everything even if just to say I don't have the experience to have a good opinion. Just typing is very theraputic. But having the support and feedback of the many people on here that were either starting their quits or have been quit for many years was priceless. I guess what I'm saying is if you've been following but nervous about trying, just introduce yourself. We can help you with planning your quit and support you if/when you do decide to quit, or just answer any questions you might have. I found the hardest part of quitting was just getting up the nerve to pull the trigger on day 1 and actually start my quit. What I found was that the fear was completely overblown. So say yes to better health (and saving money and time) and being back in control of your life. Quitting is doable, as many people on this site can attest to. Having a support group go through it with you just makes it easier.7 points

Couldn’t have said it any better @JustinHoot99! Every bit of that is true too. A week short of 7 months quit and I would not have made it without QuitTrain. So please, if anyone has found yourself hesitating on starting your quit just say hi and we will be glad to help in any way that we can!3 points

I didn't really taste anything, but maybe I would have if I ever switched brands. The only time I tasted something is if I really licked my lips right after a cigarette. You would lick that tar and could really taste it and boy was it nasty.2 points
