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 Donald Raymond from Michigan, US, celebrated 3 years smoke-free.
Don was a smoker for 52 years and had tried everything to quit.
“I’d tried hypnosis (twice), Chantix (twice), acupuncture, cold turkey, the patch, gum, “on my own” (too numerous to count). All failed. After 52 years of smoking 1.5 pks./day, heavy smoking, “no one smokes like I do” smoking, I was almost resigned to the fact that I was doomed to never quit. And all the ugliness that results from that.”
Then, he found the CBQ Quit Smoking Program, what I shared resonated with him, and he decided to join.
The result? Lasting, powerful and liberating freedom!
This is his advice: “If YOU believe, and really want to, she makes it almost easy. Follow the program….really LISTEN to her….use the support available, and before you know it, you’re done and FREE of the evil things. Work at a pace for you. Absorb the whole program. Will be the best money you ever spent.”
On his 3-year milestone, Don is so secure in his quit he’s helping his friend quit also.

Inspiring Transformation
This week, CBQ Quit Smoking Program member Tim Roberts from Queensland, Australia, celebrated 3 years smoke-free! But Tim’s journey to success had lots of ups and downs.
During our Ask An Ex interview, Tim shared that he smoked his first cigarette when he was 14 years old and smoked on and off for over 50 years. Throughout life, he also became addicted to alcohol and food. He was, as he told me, a “perfectionist emotional cripple” and vices became his go-to coping mechanism. Even though Tim eventually quit alcohol, he could not let go of his cigarettes (a story I know many of you share).
But after joining the CBQ Program, Tim became a happy non-smoker. He didn’t gain any weight after quitting smoking… Instead, he lost 28kg (60 pounds)!
He looks amazing and feels even better. Look at his unbelievable transformation!
