Happy Spotlight Day! I’m excited to share with you this week’s news and most inspiring stories and tips from the CBQ community!
It’s always hard to pick which of all the amazing stories to share with you every week (I wish I could share them all!), so I’m hand-picking the inspiring stories that speak to the fears or needs you bring to our attention each week.
Without further ado, let’s dive into this week’s spotlights!
Inspiring Journey
CBQ Program member Tracy Van Dyke from Missouri, US celebrated 2 year smoke-free! Tracy quit smoking after 40 years and remained proudly smoke-free despite facing many challenges during his first smoke-free year, like losing his beloved mother.
Since becoming a non-smoker, Tracy breathes better, feels better, and has more stamina at 61 years young!
This is what Tracy shared about his 2-year milestone:
“Nasia, happy new year! Thanks again for being here for all of us and for creating the CBQ method which is by far and without a doubt the BEST way to quit the nicotine addiction. Tomorrow on January 2nd, I will be two years a happy non smoker! Thank you!”

Inspiring Milestone
CBQ Program member Michelle Weber from Illinois, US celebrated 4 years smoke-free! She said “never thought in a million years I was able to achieve this. I still can’t believe it! 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
