I am a veteran USAF. I became a regular drug user and cigarette smoker when I was 13. Actually had my first drink when I was 5 and tried my first cigarette at 7. So I got clean and sober on June 15 2008. But I continued to smoke cigarettes until I just quit on march 31 2022. So I used drugs for 29 years and I smoked for 42 years. I always told myself that I will die using drugs and smoking cigarettes because I can't and don't want to quit! Ok so fast forward to today!! The reason for this reflection is I am finally drug and smoke free! And it will stay this way for the rest of my life!!

It's great to say that I am a happy non-smoker because in the past I never said that when I stopped! Because I never wanted too!! So for the first time in my life I can say I am and will be for the rest of my life!

To all of those who are struggling and feel that the only answer is to smoke!! That is a delusion that I told myself for over 42 years! Willpower sucks!! Mind power awesome!! I changed my mindset.

For the small amount the program costs it's way better than all the money I have spent over past 42 + years I smoked on cigarettes! So as they continued to drink and smoke I lost count on how many asked us how we can be so damn happy without drinking or smoking and I responded. Being clean & sober and now a happy non smoker is sooooooooooo much better! I told them I choose freedom!!

Thank you again Nasia for this awesome program!! Always choosing freedom!! The CBQ METHOD really works!!

This program works! It was worth every penny. I am amazed every day that I actually quit. I never thought that I would or could. I have a background in psychology so can really relate to what Nasia is saying about the Cognitive Behavioral aspect of stopping smoking.
I have smoked off and on since I was around 15 years old. Today I am 65. You can do the math. Now that I’ve quit I feel liberated and exhilarated. I feel that I finally have control over cigarettes, which have controlled my life for 50 years!
I have quit smoking so many times I’ve lost count. This time is much different. In addition to it being an awesome program, your kindness and compassion come through and that is so comforting. I have not replaced nicotine with food and I’m walking regularly. I always have walked but I always had my cigarettes with me. This is a life changer.

This program is a miracle. I don’t have any cravings for cigarettes or food. I feel free. I don’t ever have to smoke again!

I feel like I have achieved something really important and it has impacted my health. My skin looks better and I don’t cough all the time. Plus, in case I haven’t mentioned this before, I have saved approximately $2,200 in the last year by not buying cigarettes. I love being a non-smoker. You can do this. I never thought I would quit. Ever.

Thank you Nasia!

Smoke (actually vape) free since January 8, 2022. Thank you CBQ for saving my life.

The program works for vaping. I vaped non stop. I couldn't leave a room if i didn't have my vape. I couldn't grocery shop without going in the bathroom and vaping. I smoked 2-3 vuse pods each day. If I couldn't vape i wore a half a nicotine patch. I used to smoke 2 1/2 packs a day, then vaped the equivalent or more.

Let the program work, only you can get in the way of progress. If you could quit on your own you would have quit already. Follow the program and do not be in such a hurry. You can do it. I was a hard-core addict. I had to listen to the videos over and over again. I panicked so much about counting how many times I vape that I stopped on day 6. I always knew logically I should not smoke but I couldn't figure out all the emotional reasons until doing this program.

If you keep working the program something is going to click, once it does you can do this. Crave freedom.

Think of something really hard that you accomplished. This is when it clicked for me. I went to law school. It was really hard. The reason I succeeded in law school was because I believed I could do it if I worked hard enough. I pictured myself as a lawyer. I recognized the benefits of being a lawyer. Apply the same principles to quitting smoking. Think of the hardest thing that you accomplished. Figure out how you accomplished it. Apply the same thoughts to smoking and you will succeed. This is a mental battle. You are smarter than an elephant or a cigarette. You got this.

I am pleased to have found the CBQ Program and Nasia Davos and the whole program team who assisted me in reaching my goal to become a non-smoker. I had smoked about a pack and a half for the better part of 50+ years. My grand kids had been asking me to quit for a number of years and with this program was able to break the habit/addiction and smoke my last cigarette on January 2020. Thanks again for all the support and the wonderful program.

Thank you

The CBQ Method has changed my life! I’m absolutely over the moon that I’ve managed to quit smoking using the CBQ Method! I can’t tell you how proud of myself I am! I’m 47 this year and have been smoking around 30 a day since I was 15 years old. In the past I’ve tried to quit using patches and vapes and succeeded for about 8 months, but because I was still entertaining nicotine in my life, I think it was only inevitable that sooner or later I’d be back on the cigarettes. Which is exactly what happened.
The CBQ Method is a game changer though! It educates you to understand how the craving mind works and allows you to come to the realisation yourself just how bad nicotine is for you. Not only that, but it gives you the necessary tools to overcome your cravings without nicotine replacements and shows you how much happier you can be living a smoke free life! I’ve been nicotine and smoke free since June 24, 2022 and know in my heart that I’ll never smoke again!
Thank you Nasia and the whole team! Words can’t express how truly lucky I feel I have been finding the CBQ Method.

I am so happy to finally be FREE after 47 years of this nasty habit! I broke up my bad relationship with cigarettes. No longer will they control me or abuse me. I AM IN CONTROL. My quit date was February 11, 2020. So glad I found your program!

If someone told me not to try smoking that first one because I was going to become addicted for 47 years I would not have believed them, especially because it was so nasty tasting and made me feel dizzy and sick. But 47 years later and numerous quit attempts I was FINALLY able to change my ending with this program.

Where I struggled with quitting smoking is that all the methods I tried were unfortunately not successful for me. I am so glad that I found this program because it makes so much sense to quit without using NRT products. I learned how to change my mindset. Visualization is a great exercise for getting what you desire. I learned how to practice mindfulness and gratefulness and most of all the gradual decrease using the inventory worksheet was both an eye opener and a perfect way to become detached from smoking. It just makes so much sense!

I am still beyond grateful for finding this amazing program. Thankful for all the lessons learned about myself and especially to Nasia for guiding in a way that helps educate to break free from the nicotine addiction. It teaches us much more as well.
This program keeps giving because there are many learnings that can continue to be applied in other areas of our life.
To help us help ourselves with the goal to getting back to our natural state.

The CBQ program has been a miracle for me. I am a happy non smoker since 7 August 2020! This is an amazing program that I would recommend to every smoker. It was so easy for me and i smoked a pack a day for 50 years. Please invest in this program you will not regret it if you follow it as instructed.

I followed the CBQ method exactly. Every morning I sat on my porch and listened to Nasia and took notes. I think the note taking helped.. I wrote down almost everything she said. I did all the assignments for the day and reread my notes at night. Honestly I was shocked how easy it was... I had very little cravings and did not need willpower.

My advice would be to choose to quit and have a plan that includes a quit date. The CBQ method does that. I was scared when I started the program because I had to set my quit date but once I started the program it all fell into place and I was welcoming my quit date. I have been smoke free with no or little withdrawal. None of my attempts have worked. The Lord and this program guided me to victory 💖

Nasia you are amazing and I do miss seeing you every morning.
Fondly

I quit smoking on April 25th, 2018. I replaced smoking with exercise. I used to wake up and smoke, then have coffee and a smoke then drive to work and have a smoke. Now I wake up and exercise every morning and I love it. I don’t even think about smoking. When I have a craving and I cannot exercise per se, I research new exercise programs and diets I can experiment with.

I love this program and I’m telling all my smoker friends about it.

On April 30th, 2018, I started an 8 week couch to 5K program. On May 18th I turned 46, and I bought myself an inflatable paddle board. On June 27th I got my 5K Runner Badge. I continue to run 5K plus 3 days a week, and I get faster every day I run. Through it all I have lost 35 pounds.

None of this would have happened if I had continued to smoke. In fact I hate to even think about where I would be if I were still smoking. I am so excited to be a non-smoker, and I love my smoke-free life. Thank you Nasia!

After smoking for almost 40 years I thought as many smokers in the past and those current, stopping will require a miracle. Thanks to Nasia, and the program my miracle has been answered. Words cannot express how grateful I am. I hope my success will offer people hope and inspiration.

Thank you so very much for this excellent smoking cessation method, CBQ Method, that you created to help people like me finally stop smoking!!!

I have been trying to quit smoking for many years. The first time I tried was in 1987. I started smoking in 1977. So I have smoked for 44 years and have tried to quit for 34 years. I have literally tried every method known to quit. Being a smoker was never who I truly was. Your program was the first to have ever worked for me and it worked like magic. I know that sounds unbelievable and I cannot explain it.

I have tried and failed with every other method out there. I was a smoker who truly believed I enjoyed smoking! Smoking is the absolute worst!!! The only people who benefit from smoking are big tobacco, morticians, and pharmaceutical companies. Freedom is so sweet!!!

I have learned so much from the CBQ program and I owe Nasia Davos a great debt. For me, in the past, smoking a cigarette was my first coping mechanism! For anger, depression, and everything else in between. I would leave the situation, go off by myself somewhere and smoke and think about what was happening inside of me. Then I usually felt somewhat better or more together and I would rejoin the situation or not. So the cigarette would get all the credit for making me feel better( when it actually was only relieving my craving for nicotine) and I was the one actually doing all of the work trying to figure out how I was going to cope with the situation. As a non smoker, I still remove myself from the situation and go somewhere by myself to think. I just don’t smoke because I fought like hell to get rid of that problem and I no longer have to satisfy the nicotine craving. Removing myself from the situation does help.

The other thing I’m doing is I ordered a workbook on cognitive behavioral therapy and I’m working my way through it. It’s not easy but at 62, I figured I better start learning to cope with my problems without a cigarette. It’s a journey.

Such an amazing program! I will recommend it highly!!!
