CBQ Spotlights

Celebrating YOU: This week’s spotlights [July 2, 2025]

Happy “Spotlight Day”!

Today, I’m excited to share with you some of this week’s most inspiring success stories and tips from the CBQ community.

Let’s dive in!

Inspiring Milestone

This week, CBQ Quit Smoking Program member Sam Fallows from England, UK, celebrated 3 years smoke-free!

Sam was a smoker for 43 years and nothing had worked for her:

“I am 56 smoked since 13 had a few failed attempts … I chose to stop after completing the course, and I loved all the things CBQ did to help me approach and understand my smoking differently…finally I feel free, huge heartfelt thank you to Nasia and all at CBQ good luck to all who have or are grappling with this disgusting harmful expensive addiction…you can do it and take back control but you have to follow the programme. …no vaping no patches no nothing and I love it and learned so much about myself along the way.”

After completing the CBQ Quit Smoking Program, she broke free!

And her quit was an enjoyable experience!

3 years later, she’s still a happy non-smoker!

This is what Sam shared a couple of days ago about her 3-year milestone:

“That brought a big smile to my face, I had forgotten the day.

Still a happy non smoker and truly believe that’s it for me

Still forever grateful for your amazing programme

Thank you and I hope you and your team are continuing to share the love”

Inspiring Accomplishment – Nicotine & Alcohol Free

This week we’re celebrating CBQ Quit Smoking Program member Mickie Shumaker from Iowa, United States, who not only quit smoking, she also quit alcohol!

This is what Mickie shared with our members community:

“Keep it going, I hit one year on June 28th  Best thing I ever did (well, my last beer was June 4th of last year, that’s pretty cool also)! Be tough, it gets easier”

Tip of the Week

This week’s tip comes from CBQ Program member Shelley Leith from England, United Kingdom who has been smoke-free since November 30, 2021!

Shelley’s tip: Trust the process. You may surprise yourself

“You can do this, I smoked for over forty years, joined the program expecting to fail. I gave up on my first attempt, almost three years later I’m still smoke free. I honestly didn’t believe I would smoke my ceremonial last cigarette, and just stop, but I did….and so can you.”

To your freedom,
