Inspiring Benefits

This week, CBQ Program member Paddy Monaghan from Scotland, United Kingdom, shared with our program members group that he’s 10 months smoke-free! After many failed attempts and struggles to quit, Paddy decided to join the CBQ Program. The 9th day of the program was his most important day – that’s when he knew he’d never smoke again. On the 10th day, he smoked his last cigarette and found quitting smoking “very easy”.

Since breaking free, his and his family’s lives have transformed, plus he has saved £1,838 (over $2000)!

Paddy’s Biggest Aha Moment:

Understanding the difference between mindpower and willpower.

Inspiring Milestone – Quit Vaping

Two days ago, CBQ Program member Stan Spadoni from Ontario, Canada celebrated 1 year vape-free! This is Stan’s story as he shared it on the CBQ Success Page:

“After 20+years of first smoking and then vaping, I had my ‘good bye’ vape on day 10 [November 25, 2023]. I had attempted to quit numerous times, but could not make it more than a couple weeks. Nasia’s team through the CBQ method prepared me like I could have never dreamt of. I felt so different and so ready as I worked through the program, similar like training to run a marathon. I now feel very proud and very free. This was something I was not sure was possible. Surprisingly, I have not been thinking about smoking hardly at all. I have developed this craving buster with my 4-year old daughter…… In one of Nasia’s videos we discussed coming up with a Mantra or slogan or something along those lines…. So, when I have a craving I will tell my daughter and together we will say, “NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE!” and then we growl like a bear….:) It has been great to be able to chat with team members through this journey so far. Thanks for being here.”

Tip of the Week

This week’s tip was shared on our free support group, and comes from CBQ Program member Leah Himbeault, who has been smoke-free since August 29, 2024.

Leah said: “I never considered myself a hardcore smoker. Ha ha ha when I reached 10+ smokes a day I realized I was now hardcore”. And for finding the CBQ Program, she said, “I didn’t just come across CBQ by accident. It was meant to be. This program is so amazing and not only helped me become a happy non-Smoker but a happier human.”

Leah’s Tip: Commit!

“I committed to the program after the free webinar. Small price to pay for freedom! I am still so amazed at how well the whole program works. But…… you have to work the program people!! No short cuts, no miracles, no magic pill. Do the work and the magic happens!! Thank CBQ and Nasia Davos! Amazing amazing program!!”

As always, I want to say a huge thank you to our amazing CBQ Program members who have given me permission to share their stories!

Inspiring Milestone

This week, CBQ Program member Pauline Westfield from England, UK celebrated 5 years smoke-free! When she first joined the CBQ Program, Pauline was not at all excited to say goodbye to her cigarettes. She enjoyed smoking a lot, but after smoking for over 40 years up to 30 a day, she felt she had to quit – or at least try.

Despite being skeptical, Pauline did every exercise and every step outlined in the CBQ Program. By day 5 of the program, she felt excited to quit. By day 8, she couldn’t wait! She smoked her last cigarette on the 13th of September, 2019.

5 years later, Pauline is over 70 years old and feels like 20. Her inspiring journey started when she attended the free CBQ webinar 5 years ago.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Pauline as part of CBQ’s Ask An Ex series. You can watch Pauline sharing her story of how she quit smoking with the Cognitive Behavioral Quitting (CBQ) Program:

This week, CBQ Program member Gary Richmond from Michigan, US, celebrated 3 years smoke-free. While interviewing Gary, he told me he smoked his first cigarette when he was just 13 years old. Then, he said, “I smoked for 33 years up to 2 packs a day”. He tried to quit on his own. but it didn’t stick. He even switched to vaping but ended up smoking and vaping.

After coming across the CBQ Method, Gary decided to join the members’ program and give it a try. To his surprise, by day 10 of the program he could not smoke more than 2 cigarettes. He quit, and 3 years later, he’s still a happy non-smoker… who has saved over $10000 from not smoking.

You can watch Gary sharing his story on this Ask An Ex episode:

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:

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!”
