Happy “Spotlight Day”! Today, I’m very excited to share with you this week’s new and most inspiring success stories (and tips) from the CBQ community.
Let’s dive in!
Inspiring Milestone
4 days ago, CBQ Program member Donald Raymond from Michigan, US, celebrated 2 years smoke-free. This is Don’s story: “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. UNTIL Nasia Davos, and her program, became aware to me. 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 2-year milestone, Don still has no thoughts of ever going back!

Tip Of The Week
This week’s tip comes from CBQ Program member Marilou from Arizona, US, who’s been a happy non-smoker since June 22, 2021… That’s over 3 years!
Marilou’s tip is wise and simple: Smoking won’t change a thing.
“This is the longest I’ve ever quit, I owe it to CBQ. Do you know what I learned here? I learned having that cigarette doesn’t change a dog gone thing, it only made me feel worse than I already did. On this journey, remember you are in control, you control your emotions, what ever you are feeling that drives you to that cigarette, remember this 1 thing, “smoking is not going to change it”. Have your cry, have your moment of sadness, have your moment of anxiety, just have your moment without a cigarette. The first time you get through that moment, like that, you will be so proud of yourself, the euphoria it brings its life-changing. good luck, you can do it.”
Inspiring Transformation
Two days ago, CBQ Program member Tim Roberts from Queensland, Australia, celebrated 2 years smoke-free! But Tim’s journey to success had lots of ups and downs.
During our recent 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. Tim also shared with our members that he used the CBQ Program to also change his relationship with food, and lost 28kg (60 pounds)!
He looks amazing and feels even better. Look at his unbelievable transformation!
As always, I want to say a big thank you to our amazing CBQ Program members who have given me permission to share their stories!
