Happy “Spotlight Wednesday”! Get ready for this week’s most inspiring success stories and tips from the CBQ community!
Inspiring Success
CBQ Quit Smoking Program member Carolyn Fares from California, US, celebrated 3 years smoke-free!
Carolyn used to consider herself a “professional quitter” (after trying everything from gums to Chantix), and even though she could quit smoking, she always felt miserable without cigarettes and ended up relapsing. As you know, every relapse comes with lots of disappointment and frustration, and it’s hard to try to quit again. But after Carolyn discovered the CBQ Program, she decided to try one last time.
This is what happened:
“This program is truly life changing. I don’t even think about cigarettes at all anymore. It’s crazy!!”
“Quitting gives you the keys to a new life. No more waking myself up in the middle of every night telling myself I’m a failure. Instead quitting has given me so much self confidence to do many things. I am also so much happier about life (the program teaches us to have gratitude and choose to look at things positively). It’s a mindset reset. I live in the present. I can mentally focus better on tasks. Physically, I can breathe better. I bought an exercise bike, I go for walks. There are things I can’t do but that’s okay because there’s lots I can. I am a much happier and positive person now.”
And this is what she shared about her journey:

Carolyn is incredible. Not only did she quit smoking, but last year she also joined the CBQ Food Freedom Program and released 23 pounds without dieting!
