Happy “Spotlight Day” and happy April!
Today, 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 Program member Glenn Gregg from Georgia, US, celebrated 6 years smoke-free! After a lifetime of smoking and many failed attempts, Glenn was skeptical that anything could or would work for him. For decades, smoking was all he knew.
But this all changed after joining the CBQ Program 6 years ago.
Glenn completed the program and succeeded!
This is Glenn with his CBQ Success Certificate:
6 years later, Glenn is still a happy non-smoker and doesn’t even think about it. A lifetime of addiction gone!
(Isn’t that amazing?!)
Tip of the Week
This week’s tip comes from CBQ Program member Marina McClay from California, US who quit smoking a year ago, on April 1, 2024!
This is Marina’s advice and the biggest aha moments she got from the CBQ Program:
“I am 63 and started smoking at 13. I quit on April 1, 2024. The CBQ program taught me that I can re-wire my brain, that I can separate my identity from my behaviors and that I have the capacity to rid myself of the mental addiction I once believed would be with me forever. I learned that I smoked to fill basic emotional needs, like variety or connection, which then trigger craving thoughts. I learned how to approach craving thoughts with mindfulness rather than battling them with willpower. This experience has also taught me to be open to learning new skills and to seek help when I can’t do it alone.”
Inspiring Success
This week, CBQ Program member Anthony Epping from Iowa, US celebrated 3 years smoke-free! Up until 3 years ago, Anthony never thought he could quit because he had tried everything. In his search of new quit smoking solutions, he came across CBQ. In his own words, “I did the webinar and understood the concepts being used and debated if I could just do it on my own. I decided to purchase and glad I did. I do not think I could have done on my own. It was/is the exercises that brings those concepts home, plus this group is so supportive.”
Anthony went through the CBQ Program, at his own pace, and succeeded! He told our community that the “Program is worth every penny!” and 3 years later he’s still a happy non-smoker.
Every 2 years, Anthony is saving $4,723, and avoiding 10,985 cigarettes and tens of thousands of toxins!
This is Anthony with his CBQ Success Certificate:
As always, a big thank you goes out to all of our amazing members who gave me permission to share their stories with you.
To your freedom,
