Thank you so very much for this excellent smoking cessation method, CBQ Method, that you created to help people like me finally stop smoking!!!

I have been trying to quit smoking for many years. The first time I tried was in 1987. I started smoking in 1977. So I have smoked for 44 years and have tried to quit for 34 years. I have literally tried every method known to quit. Being a smoker was never who I truly was. Your program was the first to have ever worked for me and it worked like magic. I know that sounds unbelievable and I cannot explain it.

I have tried and failed with every other method out there. I was a smoker who truly believed I enjoyed smoking! Smoking is the absolute worst!!! The only people who benefit from smoking are big tobacco, morticians, and pharmaceutical companies. Freedom is so sweet!!!

I have learned so much from the CBQ program and I owe Nasia Davos a great debt. For me, in the past, smoking a cigarette was my first coping mechanism! For anger, depression, and everything else in between. I would leave the situation, go off by myself somewhere and smoke and think about what was happening inside of me. Then I usually felt somewhat better or more together and I would rejoin the situation or not. So the cigarette would get all the credit for making me feel better( when it actually was only relieving my craving for nicotine) and I was the one actually doing all of the work trying to figure out how I was going to cope with the situation. As a non smoker, I still remove myself from the situation and go somewhere by myself to think. I just don’t smoke because I fought like hell to get rid of that problem and I no longer have to satisfy the nicotine craving. Removing myself from the situation does help.

The other thing I’m doing is I ordered a workbook on cognitive behavioral therapy and I’m working my way through it. It’s not easy but at 62, I figured I better start learning to cope with my problems without a cigarette. It’s a journey.

Such an amazing program! I will recommend it highly!!!

I did quitting. I did. I did...I'm happy Non-Smoker since 11/28/2019. Since halfway of program, i decided to replace smoking with some healthy lifestyle..Yes, I hit the gym first time in my life and started achieving good physics now. I surprised my elder daughter on her 10th birthday with Non-smoker shirt and told her I quit smoking. She was fighting, crying for this moment for long time along with her mother. Please see the photo of that beautiful moment. I don't know the right word to express my gratitude to you and team. My quit date was thanksgiving day and i made my wife feel good and relaxed forever. She is the one waited for that moment for almost 15 years. Now I'm proud to be an inspiring person in my family. I started applying many of the principles of the program into my life to set new healthy goals in my life. I know the proverb "Health is wealth" but only recent days i started feeling it from my heart. Thanks again.

I am 69 yrs old.. been smoking for 55 yrs ...I’ve tried hypnosis, laser, Champix pills, all nicotine substitutes, acupuncture, willpower, you name it.. I worked this CBQ program and the fascinating thing is that I haven’t had the urge to smoke.
I thought it would be tougher ... being in Lockdown for Covid and all... and not being able to excise because I broke my collarbone On Feb 2 (same day I started CBQ course)
Work the program.. do the coursework.. diligently.. CBQ is a gift

It’s an outstanding program! It all starts with a choice to become a non smoker, that desire of freedom. And to follow the step by step program. Nasia Davos is an amazing facilitator in the step by step In the CBQ program.
My freedom date is: 20-02-2022! I was a smoker for 29 years. There was of course many attempts to stop, especially for my 2 pregnancies. And then, I became a social smoker and was able to maintain « that status » for a few years. Afterward, I started vaping for a year and then my kids started picking it up and trying it and that did not make me feel very proud of myself. So I started to smoke again. My teenagers would push me away when I would approach them to give them a kiss « mom you stink »!
One morning I woke up and said to myself I want to stop smoking. And I googled the following ….. how to stop smoking naturally….. and voilà…CBQ method came up!
For me it’s very simple, the decision to invest in myself by joining the CBQ program was a very big step out off a very long hibernation status I was maintaining for many many years. It was the beginning of a beautiful journey of faith, love and courage towards freedom and accomplishment. I am so proud of myself and my life has shifted for the better as of the moment I chose ME!
Thank you Nasia 🙏🏻

I love being smoke free (and nicotine free) - since March 4, 2019! I feel like I finally got that monkey off my back! I am thrilled with my success. I followed the program, did the exercises everyday, visualized how I would conquer my triggers. This program is priceless. I feel like for the first time in many years I will succeed. I feel like if anyone goes through the program they will succeed. But, first of all you have to understand you are NOT losing your best friend you are gaining your life and health back. After 3 or 4 days all the nicotine is out of your system and then it is just a mind game. Mind over matter at that point.
This truly is the best program ever! I followed it completely and did every exercise. I couldn’t have done this without this program. So thankful to Nasia and team!! So today I’m grateful for how good I feel and how thankful I am that I am two years free of that awful habit!

I am pleased to have found the CBQ Program and Nasia Davos and the whole program team who assisted me in reaching my goal to become a non-smoker. I had smoked about a pack and a half for the better part of 50+ years. My grand kids had been asking me to quit for a number of years and with this program was able to break the habit/addiction and smoke my last cigarette on January 2020. Thanks again for all the support and the wonderful program.

The CBQ Method has changed my life! I’m absolutely over the moon that I’ve managed to quit smoking using the CBQ Method! I can’t tell you how proud of myself I am! I’m 47 this year and have been smoking around 30 a day since I was 15 years old. In the past I’ve tried to quit using patches and vapes and succeeded for about 8 months, but because I was still entertaining nicotine in my life, I think it was only inevitable that sooner or later I’d be back on the cigarettes. Which is exactly what happened.
The CBQ Method is a game changer though! It educates you to understand how the craving mind works and allows you to come to the realisation yourself just how bad nicotine is for you. Not only that, but it gives you the necessary tools to overcome your cravings without nicotine replacements and shows you how much happier you can be living a smoke free life! I’ve been nicotine and smoke free since June 24, 2022 and know in my heart that I’ll never smoke again!
Thank you Nasia and the whole team! Words can’t express how truly lucky I feel I have been finding the CBQ Method.

The CBQ program has been a miracle for me. I am a happy non smoker since 7 August 2020! This is an amazing program that I would recommend to every smoker. It was so easy for me and i smoked a pack a day for 50 years. Please invest in this program you will not regret it if you follow it as instructed.

I followed the CBQ method exactly. Every morning I sat on my porch and listened to Nasia and took notes. I think the note taking helped.. I wrote down almost everything she said. I did all the assignments for the day and reread my notes at night. Honestly I was shocked how easy it was... I had very little cravings and did not need willpower.

My advice would be to choose to quit and have a plan that includes a quit date. The CBQ method does that. I was scared when I started the program because I had to set my quit date but once I started the program it all fell into place and I was welcoming my quit date. I have been smoke free with no or little withdrawal. None of my attempts have worked. The Lord and this program guided me to victory 💖

Nasia you are amazing and I do miss seeing you every morning.
Fondly

Smoke (actually vape) free since January 8, 2022. Thank you CBQ for saving my life.

The program works for vaping. I vaped non stop. I couldn't leave a room if i didn't have my vape. I couldn't grocery shop without going in the bathroom and vaping. I smoked 2-3 vuse pods each day. If I couldn't vape i wore a half a nicotine patch. I used to smoke 2 1/2 packs a day, then vaped the equivalent or more.

Let the program work, only you can get in the way of progress. If you could quit on your own you would have quit already. Follow the program and do not be in such a hurry. You can do it. I was a hard-core addict. I had to listen to the videos over and over again. I panicked so much about counting how many times I vape that I stopped on day 6. I always knew logically I should not smoke but I couldn't figure out all the emotional reasons until doing this program.

If you keep working the program something is going to click, once it does you can do this. Crave freedom.

Think of something really hard that you accomplished. This is when it clicked for me. I went to law school. It was really hard. The reason I succeeded in law school was because I believed I could do it if I worked hard enough. I pictured myself as a lawyer. I recognized the benefits of being a lawyer. Apply the same principles to quitting smoking. Think of the hardest thing that you accomplished. Figure out how you accomplished it. Apply the same thoughts to smoking and you will succeed. This is a mental battle. You are smarter than an elephant or a cigarette. You got this.

I'm so happy and grateful for this program. It really has been easy. I’ve had a few “moments”, but most have just been habitual thinking rather than cravings. I smoked for most of the last 45 years.
Tried everything known to man. This program is the real answer. It took me 4 starts. But once I got thru the entire course, everything clicked for me. My mantra is N.O.P.E. NOT ONE PUFF EVER. This is the first time I've been confident of remaining smoke free for the rest of my life.
Bless you Nasia!!

I relapsed countless times before I was guided to CBQ and after doing the program for the first and second time, but the third time it finally stuck.

What really worked:

Put in the work. I printed exercises day 4,9 and 10. Read and practiced every time doubt crept in.

Every time I craved a cig, I reminded myself that by not smoking in this situation, you’re rewiring your brain.

In my journal and monthly review, I kept congratulating myself and honoring my non-smoker journey. I’m my own cheerleader!

When I was smoking, I always had the background unhappiness.

Lately I feel content and feel inner peace.

Taking a walk and seeing all those flowers bursting and growing now gives me an overflow of joy.

I rarely think about smoking at this point.

This program works, so put in the work and trust.

So grateful that I've been guided to your work and it literally transformed my life! I loved your daily checkins in the program, and also the follow-up emails that have continued to help me stay on track. I really thank you for positively impacting our lives, you are a beautiful human being inside and out.
