Happy “Spotlight Day”! 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 Quit Smoking Program member Ashley West Hilliard from Texas, US, celebrated 5 years smoke-free!
Ashley was terrified of quitting smoking. Even though she’d successfully become sober over a decade ago, quitting smoking was the one thing (she thought) she couldn’t do. Before an attempt, she would cry to her husband telling him how afraid she was. After joining the CBQ Program, she realized that there was nothing to be afraid of!
On her 2nd anniversary, Ashley said: “I truly NEVER thought I could quit smoking. When I say never, I really mean that. I started smoking before I was 10 years old (I am not sure of the exact age) and I smoked for 25 years, minus 2 pregnancies. I had all of the reasons why I couldn’t and didn’t want to quit but the CBQ method helped me see how false those beliefs were. I can truly say that I have not wanted to smoke since the day I quit.”
5 years after her quit date, Ashley is still a happy non-smoker!

Bonus Tip of the Week
This week’s tip comes from CBQ Quit Smoking Program member Lisa Gunter from Idaho, US who has been a happy non-smoker since April!
This is what Lisa shared this week: Prioritize your quit
“I smoked ,my last cig 127 days ago on April 8th. When i started the program i was not convinced i would ever quit or want to. but working the program every day, I smoked my last cigarette on day 8 but contuied the program all the way thru. I was amazed in the end how extremely easy it was to quit. I am 55 and have smoked since i was 16. Just clear your mind, set away two weeks, breath and just doue the program with no excuses. it does work!!!!”
To your freedom,
