Happy “Spotlight Day”! Today is the first Wednesday of February, and I can’t wait to share with you some of this week’s most inspiring success stories and the top tips from the CBQ community.

Let’s do it!

Inspiring Milestone

This week, CBQ Program member Joanne Campbell from England, UK, celebrated 3 years smoke-free! Jo was a smoker for 32 years and she said, “In the past I have tried to quit but as I said before it made me feel very depressed, having no self worth, what was the point in stopping smoking if I didn’t value my health or life.” Jo is not a stranger to life’s struggles. She lost her father, brother, and mother in the same year and, with that, lost her footing in life. This made it even harder to imagine life without cigarettes.

While looking for ways to quit smoking, Jo decided to join the CBQ Program. She found it “surprisingly easy to follow,” and when she quit smoking, she knew it would be forever. This is what Jo shared a month after she quit smoking.

3 years later, Jo is still a happy non-smoker!

Tip Of The Week

This week’s tip comes from CBQ Program member Shelton Mulkey from Louisiana, US. Shelton has been a happy non-smoker since December 3, 2024 after 40+years!

Shelton’s tip: You can succeed even if you’ve failed before.

“I was a 40+ year smoker be for I found the program. Just like you, I tried all of the replacement therapies. I don’t know if you watched Nasia s webinar. She talks about mind power over will power. I was very pessimistic. I smoked through the whole program and a pack on my quit date. When you dive into the program you will hear about mind power more and more. I already see your mind power in your post. Specifically where you said that you dislike the taste and the ashtrays. That is it. Keep telling yourself that as you advance through the program. Make yourself believe it. That’s my off the wall advice. I’m on day 59 and still going strong. I’m free. I hope this helps.”

Inspiring Story

Yesterday, CBQ Program member Melissa Budworth from Queensland, Australia celebrated 2 years smoke-free! Melissa never believed this would be possible! She was a smoker for 40 years, and was told all her life she had an addictive personality. Every failed quit attempt only reinforced that limiting belief. When she first joined the CBQ Program, she kept pausing and restarting. She was doubtful she could succeed, let alone be a “happy” non-smoker.

But Melissa decided to do something very smart. Instead of thinking about her future without cigarettes, which was overwhelming, she decided to take it one step at a time. She told herself to just commit to finishing the program and doing her best. She did that, quit smoking on day 10 of the program, and was amazed at how easy it was!

2 years later, Melissa is still a happy non-smoker and has never been tempted to have a cigarette!

“I didn’t cut down my cigarette count, I found that hard to do, but I still recorded every single smoke I had. One thing that I felt that really helped me, was that before I would light every cigarette, I would say out loud….

I am not giving up.

I am saving my money.

I am improving my health.

I am gaining my freedom.

I found that the visualisation exercises, the good bye letter and the planning of the last cigarette ritual very powerful for me.

To my surprise I actually found it easy to stop. I don’t miss it and I don’t envy those who smoke.

This time next month I will celebrate 2 years smoke free. “

This is Melissa’s selfie with her CBQ Quit Smoking Success Certificate:

I hope this week’s spotlights inspired and helped you. A big thank you to all of our amazing members who gave me the permission to share their stories and wisdom with you.

All the best,

Nasia

Happy “Spotlight Day”!

I’m excited to share with you the best parts of this week: new videos, helpful tips, and the most inspiring success stories from the CBQ community.

Let’s dive in.

Inspiring Milestone

This week, Veteran Mike Miller from New York, US celebrated 5 years smoke-free! Mike smoked his first cigarette at 12 years old and continued to smoke for the next 50 plus years. After many failed attempts to break free, he started worrying that nothing would ever work. As Mike shared with me during his Ask An Ex interview, this is what motivated him to quit:

One day, he received a letter from his granddaughter asking him to quit smoking, and that was the moment he decided to make another attempt. He researched and joined the CBQ Program, took his time in the process, and quit. Five years later, he’s still a happy non-smoker and even though his wife and many of their friends smoke, he’s never been tempted.

This is Mike with his success certificate.

Tip of the Week: Make yourself number one in your own life!

This week’s tip comes from CBQ Program member Paula Torke from Texas, US who went back and forth with smoking almost all her life.

She tried using willpower, but it didn’t work. She spent $500 on quit smoking medication, but that didn’t work either. Then Paula chose to do the CBQ Program, and not only it worked – it’s been 3 freeing years since her quit!

This is what Paula shared:

Inspiring Milestone

This week, our wonderful CBQ Program member Sue Lee from England, UK celebrated 4 years smoke-free! Sue broke a 40-year addiction after many failed attempts.

Sue had a very strong behavioral attachment to smoking. She shared that she was “the worst kind” of smoker… “first thing in the morning last thing at night. If I could smoke in the bath I would have…”

She decided to gift herself the CBQ Program, started watching the process with a mix of fear and excitement, and followed every step at her own pace.

The result?

She finally broke free!

On her 3-year milestone, Sue still can’t believe how easy it was!

4 years after her quit date, Sue is still a happy non-smoker

As always, a big thank you to all our members who shared their stories! I hope this week’s spotlights inspired you and showed you that you too can succeed.

All the best,

Inspiring Success

CBQ Program member Louise O’Reilly from Ireland celebrated 1 year smoke-free! Louise was a smoker for over 30 years, with 20 of those years actively trying to quit. She made quit attempts using the nicotine patch, vaping, and willpower but always felt deprived and eventually went back to smoking.

In her own words, “Every other quit I had I was just miserable, on reflection this was because I was using willpower but once Nasia and the team introduced me to Mindpower and all the other tools my confidence soared and our community kept me inspired and motivated to quit, more importantly to be happy with my decision to quit and I have never looked back, you all have me High on Life and I could not be more grateful to you all and for you all Thank you, thank you, thank you, I feel this program helped me to unleash my superpower as I have felt so happy and unstoppable since I became a proud and Happy non smoker”

Happy Spotlight Day! I’m excited to share with you this week’s news and most inspiring stories and tips from the CBQ community!

Let’s dive into this week’s spotlights!

Inspiring Success – Vaping

CBQ Program member Amber McKinney from Texas, US, celebrated 2 years nicotine-free! Amber was addicted to nicotine for 20 years. She never really tried to quit vaping because she didn’t believe she could. After seeing success stories from CBQ Program members, she decided to join the program and succeeded!

“I remember seeing all the success stories when I was in the beginning phase of my path to freedom and thinking how in the world am I going to do this lol…not sure where you’re at in your journey but you can do it one breath at a time!”

Now Amber is a happy non-vaper and enjoying beautiful glowing skin and healthy lungs!

“I’m free of nicotine (20 year addiction) and an extremely happy non-vaper! Your program is incredible and saved my life. My skin is loving the increased blood flow and all the oxygen. Life after nicotine is so peaceful.

Once you’ve seen the truth about Big Nicotine and all it’s lies, it’s challenging to unsee it. I was worried about alcohol but I realize that’s a limiting belief now.”

“For those on the program, don’t rush yourself! If you need to spend more than 1 day on a certain topic, do it. It can take time to really let the material sink into your brain and re-wire how you think.”

This is the amazing Amber with her CBQ Success Certificate:

Inspiring Milestone

This week, CBQ Program member Carolyn Curtis from Ohio, US, celebrated 4 years smoke-free! Carolyn’s journey started with the belief it could work out.

After smoking for 45 years and trying every approach, Carolyn knew she needed a plan to succeed, and she knew the CBQ Program was that plan for her. She was proven right!

This is what Carolyn posted on her quit date (Day 10 of the CBQ Program)

Tip of the Week

This week’s tip comes from CBQ Program member Paula Beck Ashley from California, US, who has been smoke-free since March 17, 2024!

Paula’s powerful tips for success and choosing your quit date:

“I smoked for over 50 years and I didn’t flip out. Instead of fear, try turning it into excitement. Something to look forward to. We all have the nicotine demon inside us, tempting us, telling us things we don’t want to hear. When this happens, change your thoughts like changing the channel on tv. Or, go for a walk, change your environment, take deep cleansing breaths. You need to slay that demon and be a better person for it! I am now going on 10 months of being a Happy Non-Smoker!!! I didn’t think I would ever get here! One other thing I did was to put post-it notes in the areas where I smoked. I smoked outside, so I put them on the door. The post-it notes had phrases as to why I wanted, or needed, to stop! JUST STOP!!! Stop overthinking it and just do it! I had to postpone my quit date a week until I totally understood the difference between will power and mind power.”

A big thank you to all our members who shared their stories! I hope this week’s spotlights inspired you and showed you that you too can succeed.

All the best,

Nasia

Inspiring Journey

Thanks to Nasia and the team and all you supporters here and friends and family who helped me through this, but especially God, without him I couldn’t have done it.”

Tip of the Week

This week’s tip comes from CBQ Program member Cari Lucas from West Virginia, US, who has been smoke-free since November 17, 2024!

Cari’s tip on the fear of failure:

“I was afraid if failure too. I’m sure many of us have tried many times to quit. I didn’t think I was ready either and set my quit date at 3 weeks out from the start of the program. I dud the program completely but slowly in order to delay as much as possible giving myself excuses. I did however finish in that 3 weeks, did all the exercises and recorded all my cigarettes for that amount of time. I am no w a happy nonsmoker after 40 years. Don’t let the fear hold you back from obtaining freedom.”

A big thank you to all our members who shared their stories! I hope this week’s spotlights inspired you and showed you that you too can succeed.

All the best,

Nasia
