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 love being smoke free (and nicotine free) - since March 4, 2019! I feel like I finally got that monkey off my back! I am thrilled with my success. I followed the program, did the exercises everyday, visualized how I would conquer my triggers. This program is priceless. I feel like for the first time in many years I will succeed. I feel like if anyone goes through the program they will succeed. But, first of all you have to understand you are NOT losing your best friend you are gaining your life and health back. After 3 or 4 days all the nicotine is out of your system and then it is just a mind game. Mind over matter at that point.
This truly is the best program ever! I followed it completely and did every exercise. I couldn’t have done this without this program. So thankful to Nasia and team!! So today I’m grateful for how good I feel and how thankful I am that I am two years free of that awful habit!

I relapsed countless times before I was guided to CBQ and after doing the program for the first and second time, but the third time it finally stuck.

What really worked:

Put in the work. I printed exercises day 4,9 and 10. Read and practiced every time doubt crept in.

Every time I craved a cig, I reminded myself that by not smoking in this situation, you’re rewiring your brain.

In my journal and monthly review, I kept congratulating myself and honoring my non-smoker journey. I’m my own cheerleader!

When I was smoking, I always had the background unhappiness.

Lately I feel content and feel inner peace.

Taking a walk and seeing all those flowers bursting and growing now gives me an overflow of joy.

I rarely think about smoking at this point.

This program works, so put in the work and trust.

So grateful that I've been guided to your work and it literally transformed my life! I loved your daily checkins in the program, and also the follow-up emails that have continued to help me stay on track. I really thank you for positively impacting our lives, you are a beautiful human being inside and out.

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.

I smoked for 40+ years. I had tried many, many times to quit and failed. It was not until I stumbled across this program have I been free of this horrible addiction. I owe it all to Nasia Davos, If it wasn't for this truly amazing CBQ method, and the quit smoking community, I would not be this far today. TO all of you starting out, STAY THE COURSE, you will get here!

I quit on April 20, 2020. Me and my wife’s 18 wedding anniversary.
No relapses or cheats at all!
It’s been quite strange though. I have tried quitting many times and with many different techniques and each time I am, as you say, a deprived non-smoker. And all I can do is think about smoking.

This time however, it hasn’t been like that. Sure there are some triggers but for the majority of the time, I don’t even think about smoking. I go through the days and then I will realize I don’t even remember when I might have last thought about smoking.

I know you explained to us how the program works and took us through step by step, but I admit I was skeptical because it seemed like hocus pocus and I had so many failed attempts with different methods. But somehow it just worked. I had that last cigarette at 7:00pm and then the next day I did not even miss it. Not even with my morning coffee 1 hr after waking up:). I don’t think about before going to sleep thinking how good it will be to wake up and have a smoke, or when I do wake up thinking how good it will be when I get my coffee.

I want to thank you for developing this program and thank you and your team for your support.

The biggest thing about this for me is that now I finally feel like I’ve been able to keep my promise to my daughter that I will quit. After making this promise so many times and failing, I know she was beginning to give up on me, and disappointing your child like that is one of the biggest heartaches I’ve ever had.

Thanks again for everything.

Lance Draper - Happy Non-Smoker! 🙂

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!!

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.

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.

It’s an outstanding program! It all starts with a choice to become a non smoker, that desire of freedom. And to follow the step by step program. Nasia Davos is an amazing facilitator in the step by step In the CBQ program.
My freedom date is: 20-02-2022! I was a smoker for 29 years. There was of course many attempts to stop, especially for my 2 pregnancies. And then, I became a social smoker and was able to maintain « that status » for a few years. Afterward, I started vaping for a year and then my kids started picking it up and trying it and that did not make me feel very proud of myself. So I started to smoke again. My teenagers would push me away when I would approach them to give them a kiss « mom you stink »!
One morning I woke up and said to myself I want to stop smoking. And I googled the following ….. how to stop smoking naturally….. and voilà…CBQ method came up!
For me it’s very simple, the decision to invest in myself by joining the CBQ program was a very big step out off a very long hibernation status I was maintaining for many many years. It was the beginning of a beautiful journey of faith, love and courage towards freedom and accomplishment. I am so proud of myself and my life has shifted for the better as of the moment I chose ME!
Thank you Nasia 🙏🏻

I do have my certificate framed as a reminder of a former life of a 55 year addiction. I’ve been smoke-free since November 11 of 2018 and going strong. I do not see myself returning to smoking. Thank you Nasia Davos and God for helping me with this accomplishment.
