Celebrating YOU: This week’s spotlights [June 19, 2024]

by Nasia Davos

It’s “Spotlight Day”!

Today, I’m super excited to share with you some of this week’s most inspiring stories and tips from the CBQ Community!

Let’s do it!

Inspiring Milestone

This week, CBQ Program member Luzia Dominguez from Wales, UK, celebrated 2 years smoke-free! Luzia was a smoker for all of her life. Over the years, she’s made 7 serious quit attempts but none of them lasted. Luzia first found the CBQ community through our free videos and resources. And after a couple of weeks, she decided to join the CBQ Program.

At first, she had lots of fear and kept postponing her quit date. But after finishing the program “it all clicked” (as promised!!)

2 years later, Luzia still feels free and does not want to smoke again!!

Tip of the Week

This week’s tip comes from CBQ Program member Marj Ayala from Arizona, US, who quit smoking over a year ago on April 16, 2023!!

Since last year, Marj has been prioritizing her health and is feeling the best she’s felt in years!

This is Marj’s powerful tip:

“Picture yourself smoke free and write what you, think feel what you would do differently. What would you do without worrying about smoke breaks, or sneaking away or having constant anxiety.

It’s really life changing!”

Inspiring Transformation

This week, CBQ Program member Debbie Thomas-Smith from Illinois, US, celebrated 6 months smoke-free.

This is what Debbie shared on her testimony: “I never really tried to quit smoking before. It would always be my New Years Resolution. It came and went as quickly as the stroke of midnight. Over the years, it became an unhappy habit. No one in my household smoked, and I felt uneasy smoking in my own home. It was at the end of November 2023. I prayed again asking God to help me get rid of this desire. Mind you, I had been praying for a while – I wasn’t ready to quit. This time I knew in my heart (and so did God) that I was finally done with smoking. I found CBQ and the rest is history. “

6 months later, Debbie is still a happy non-smoker! This is what she shared with our community this week:

Happy “Spotlight Day”! This Wednesday I’m thrilled to share with you some of the best tips and inspiring stories from the CBQ Community!

Inspiring Milestone

Today, CBQ Program member Irene Alldred from Ontario, Canada, is celebrating 4 years smoke-free. She broke a 52-year addiction on the 12th of June 2020.

4 years later, Irene is enjoying her life more than ever!

Inspiring Quit Smoking Benefits

Two days ago, CBQ Program member Rhonda Peppers from Arkansas, US, celebrated 2 years smoke-free! Rhonda was struggling to quit smoking for years, so when she came across the CBQ Program she decided to give it a try. The results surprised her! In Rhonda’s words: “I recommend the 12-day program. It’s pricey but paid for itself in 2 months of no cigarettes. I quit cigarettes on June 10th and feel very confident. It requires some real personal work but helps you make permanent changes in your thinking.”

2 years later, Rhonda is still a happy non-smoker and believes that investing in the program (and above all, investing in herself) was worth it.

This is what she recently shared:

CBQ Program member Rhonda Peppers saying the program was the best money she ever spent.

Rhonda’s tip for social situations: “Remember to focus on your thoughts and what you are telling yourself about the ritual and bonding with your husband. The cigarette is lying to you… it is NOT the cigarette that bonds. It’s the quality, focused time together.”

Inspiring Story

This week, CBQ Program member Becky Block From Australia, celebrated 2 years smoke-free! Becky was a light smoker of 12-13 cigarettes a day. Due to battling anxiety and depression, Becky worried if she’d be able to cope without cigarettes. But after joining the CBQ Program she realized why she could. In her own words:

“I have the “A and D” combo myself, Highly recommend CBQ program. My confidence built higher and higher all the way through, until I simply “couldn’t see myself smoking any more ciggies”. I literally couldn’t picture myself smoking. I just knew I was going to WIN, and SO WILL YOU….Tell the world that it needs to prepare itself for the new, more powerful version of you.

Sharing my replacement activities with the community: (1) “nadi shodhana pranayama” aka Alternate Nostril Breathing; or (2) do a Plank!”

This is Becky with her CBQ Success Certificate:

As always, I want to say a big thank you to all our members who gave me permission to share their stories.

Happy “Spotlight Day”! It’s the first Wednesday of June, and I’m excited to share with you some of the best success stories and tips from the CBQ community. This week’s stories are hand-picked to inspire you!

Inspiring Story

This week, CBQ Program member Angela Pinder from England, UK, celebrated 2 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:

Tip of the Week

This week, CBQ Program member Merrick Westlund from Oklahoma, US, celebrated 6 months smoke-free… after smoking for 55 years.

Merrick had lots of failed attempts and was convinced he’d remain a smoker until the end of his life. But he proved himself wrong.

Merrick’s tip: Keep at it and don’t give up!

Tip of the Week

This week’s tip comes from CBQ Program member Marilou Russo from Arizona, US, who has been a happy non-smoker since June 22, 2021. Nearly 3 years ago, when Marilou was approaching her quit date, she got into a full-blown panic. Here’s how she handled it and ended up being successful:

Marilou’s tip: Panic is a sign to prepare better.

“I worked my way through the program, setting my quit date targeted for the program. Low and behold, I get to the quit date, I go into a FULL blown panic!!!! I moved my quit date a few days, reviewed some of the courses. Ta da!!!! Accomplished, SUCCESSFULLY!!! I have been smoke-free coming up on 3 years this June (I think it’s 3!! Times flying). My only regret? Not finding CBQ sooner. You’ve got this, don’t let the addiction control you, you control the addiction.”

CBQ Tip of the Week by Marilou Russo

Inspiring Story

This week, CBQ Program member Stan Spadoni from Ontario, Canada, celebrated 6 months vape-free! Stan was a smoker who transitioned to vaping. When he decided to quit vaping, he realized just how addicted he was and could not quit for more than a couple of weeks. After searching for a solution, Stan came across the CBQ Program, decided to join, and the rest is history. He has not looked back!

Special Invite: Join the FREE CBQ Better Mental Health Challenge

A few days ago, during a (rare) sunny day in London, I was taking a walk while reading some of your comments and emails. Apart from quitting smoking and vaping, many of you are asking me questions related to mental health, emotional management, and generally how to live healthier and happier lives.

I truly believe our mental health determines the quality of our lives and how successful we are in any goal – quitting smoking, reducing stress, even losing weight.

So, there and then, I decided to create something that could help the entire CBQ community:

The 30-Day Challenge for Better Mental Health “Transform Your Mind, Transform Your Life”.

(In fact, I ran home and recorded the first video.) As a psychologist, I created this challenge to help you enhance your mental well-being, whether you’re breaking a habit or want to feel better in your life…and I will be doing the challenge with you!

So today, I want to invite you to hop on the challenge and join me.

How it works: Each day, we’ll focus on a simple yet powerful tip that will help you develop the tools to live a healthier and happier life.

Just follow @cbqmethod on Instagram, where I post daily videos of the challenge.

(Each daily video is around 1 minute long, so you can follow this challenge even if you’re busy.)

This is Day 1/30:

After watching the first video, comment and let me know if you’ll join me on the challenge.

See you there!

Happy “Spotlight Day”! Today I’m excited to share with you this week’s most inspiring success stories and tips from the CBQ community…. including a brand new Ask An Ex episode!

Inspiring Story

Meet CBQ Program member Tim Roberts from Queensland, Australia who has been a happy non-smoker since July 8, 2022. Nearly 2 years! But Tim’s journey to success had lots of ups and downs.

Tim smoked his first cigarette when he was 14 years old and smoked on and off for over 50 years. Throughout life, he also became addicted to alcohol and food. He was, as he told me a “perfectionist emotional cripple” and vices became his go to coping mechanisms. Even though Tim eventually quit alcohol, he could not let go of his cigarettes (a story I know many of you share).

But after joining the CBQ Program, Tim became a happy non-smoker. Soon after his quit date, Tim used the CBQ Program to also change his relationship with food, and lost 28kg (60 pounds)!

In this new Ask An Ex interview, Tim openly shares his life, the tragedy that caused him to relapse in the past, and what he did differently this time. Above all, he is sharing his biggest aha moments with the CBQ Program that helped him break free.

Watch Tim sharing his story here:

Inspiring Success: Smoke-Free After 56 Years

This week, CBQ Program member Mary Anne DiNublia from California, US, celebrated 1 year smoke-free. Mary Anne broke a 56-year addiction! After nearly 6 decades of smoking and multiple failed attempts, she never imagined this program would work, but she wanted to try, and she succeeded!

In her own words “I smoked for 56 years and all my past attempts at quitting failed, so I was surprised and elated that this method worked.” “This program helped me develop self-mastery over my life, making me feel empowered. My life keeps getting better and better without the mental and physical addiction pulling me down. Thank you Nasia and the team at CBQ for giving me back my life.”

Since quitting smoking, Mary Anne feels better physically and mentally. She’s happier!

She’s glowing, right?!

Inspiring Milestone

A few days ago, CBQ Program member Lisa Cunningham from British Columbia, Canada, celebrated 2 years smoke-free. After tons of research Lisa joined the CBQ Program with the desire to cut down on her smoking, and hopefully… quit. She wasn’t sure if she could stop smoking completely. All she knew is that she would do her best.

On Day 10 of the program, Lisa smoked her last cigarette and the rest is history. “Smoked my last cigarette at 9:30 p.m. May 17 crushed it, did everything according to plan. This really is an amazing program.”

This is the advice Lisa shared with the CBQ Community:

Happy “Spotlight Day”! I’m excited to share with you this week’s most inspiring success stories and tips from the CBQ community. Today’s stories are packed with inspiration!

Inspiring Milestone

This week, CBQ Program member Dory Johnson from Colorado, US, celebrated 3 years nicotine-free! Dory started using the nicotine gum while trying to quit smoking. Instead of breaking free, she remained addicted to the nicotine gum for 14 years. For 14 years, Dory promised herself she’d quit but kept on chewing.

3 years ago, Dory came across the CBQ Program and decided to join. This changed everything for her. “CBQ Method turned my world upside down. This method steps, were uncoiling a matrix of thoughts, beliefs, shames, traumas, faux rewards, smoke and mirrors and really really altering my body’s bio-chemistry. She went in at each angle to help me unhook my relationship to nicotine.”

“If you are this path- I commend you. I did not know I could do it and here I am smiling at you with my certificate and drinking my coffee.”

3 years later, Dory is still nicotine-free and happy!

Tip of the Week

This week’s tip comes from CBQ Program member Melissa Budworth from Queensland, Australia, who has been a happy non-smoker for over a year now. All her life, Melissa was told she had an addictive personality but she proved everyone (including herself) wrong. She broke free from smoking and it was easier than she ever thought possible. As an added bonus, since quitting smoking she has saved over AUD$15,000!

Melissa’s tip: All you have to do is commit.

“I purchased the program and only made it to day 5. I can’t remember the excuse I used to stop mid way. I “tried” again about a month later and made it to day 7. It was simply fear of failing for me. About a year after buying the CBQ program I was so annoyed and disappointed with myself the same as you are feeling. Finally I just committed to completing the program and trying my best. That was all I had to do. Commit! smoked my last cigarette on February 4th 2023. It was so much easier than I thought it could ever be. I smoked for 40 years and never thought I could quit.

If I can do it…..so can you.”

Inspiring Commitment

Since our last newsletter, CBQ Program member Paula Gibson from Ontario, Canada, celebrated 1 year smoke-free. Paula broke a 45-year addiction and completely transformed her relationship with smoking. When she was 4 months smoke-free, she lost her beloved mom and despite the grief and stress that came with this loss, Paula never turned to smoking because, as she told me, she had completely reprogrammed her mind. Paula knew smoking would do nothing to help her.

1 year later, Paula is happy and looks back at her “life changing” success.

Inspiring Success

Two days ago, CBQ Program member Erin Langan from Pennsylvania, US, celebrated 2 years smoke-free! Erin was convinced she’ll never quit smoking let alone feel content or happy without it! After lots of research and thinking, she decided to give the CBQ Program a proper shot and to her surprise, she made it! This is what Erin said: “I have tried many different methods to quit in the past but nothing worked. I’m so glad I found CBQ.”.. “I never thought I would make it through the first 24 hours.” Now Erin is 2 years smoke-free!
