Happy “Spotlight Day”!
This first week of June, I’m excited to share with you some of this week’s most inspiring success stories and tips from the CBQ community!
Inspiring Milestone
This week, CBQ Program member Shelton Mulkey from Louisiana, US, celebrated 6 months smoke-free. Shelton smoked a pack a day for more than 40 years and tried everything to quit — from Chantix and patches to gum and lozenges—but nothing worked. He had come to believe it was impossible to ever quit smoking.
That changed when he came across the CBQ Method. Despite being skeptical at first that he could be successful, he decided to invest in himself and join the CBQ Quit Smoking Program.
He completed the process and smoked his last cigarette on December 3, 2024! 🎉
Now, six months later, Shelton says he can’t even picture himself smoking again. How amazing is that?!
This is what Shelton shared this week with the CBQ Program community:
“I was where you are right now. I had tried everything, I didn’t think it was possible to ever quit. Follow the program. You can smoke while you do it. When your quit day comes, you will be surprised how ready you are to quit.Trust the program and the advice of the CBQ Staff. The program works. You can do it. I know it.”

Inspiring Story
This week, CBQ Program member Angela Pinder from England, UK, celebrated 3 years smoke-free! Angela used to smoke 40 to 60 cigarettes a day for 25 years. Every quit attempt, and she’d made so many, ended in total deprivation and misery. After finding the CBQ Program, Angela felt hopeful it could work, so she joined. And even though she remained skeptical until the very end, she succeeded! When Angela’s mom fell ill and eventually passed away, Angela did not relapse. Instead, she felt proud she was a non-smoker. This is what she shared with our members’ community:
3 years later, Angela is still a happy non-smoker!

This week, CBQ Program member Jackie Cowden from Florida, US, celebrated 14 months smoke-free!
In her own words: “Thank you so much! Soon I will post my certificate on FB page. I have not had 1 SINGLE PUFF IN 12 MONTHS! I can’t believe it’s been a year.
Your program works!”
A few days ago, Jackie shared her beautiful CBQ Success Photo with our community:
