Hi Shells. Welcome and please do have a look around . There is plenty of information, as I have over 100 posts and when i comment, it is usually extensive to give some facts. Knowledge really is power. The quickest way to learn is by reading the book by Allen Carr. It is absolutely free and will tell you why you started smoking and why you feel as you do today.

Champix shuts down the receptors that made smoking enjoyable. Now we taste what cigarettes really taste like before our minds were hijacked and we became addicts to nicotine. Do you remember how awful that first drag was and how we choked? Who would have expected to get hooked on such a vile thing?

Once you realize that smoking did nothing for you except steal everything dear to you, you will change your mind and heart to it. Right now you are mourning the loss, but we know that it was no friend. Your life without nicotine will be so much more rewarding in so many ways.

Read and learn. Above all, let go of the past and embrace this wonderful opportunity you have been given to finally break free. We never believed we could before, but you watch and see. Read Pisces story....it is truly amazing and you could have a story just as amazing if you believe as well.
