Happy “Spotlight Day”! I’m excited to share with you this week’s most inspiring success stories and tips from the CBQ community. Today’s stories are packed with inspiration!
Inspiring Milestone
This week, CBQ Program member Dory Johnson from Colorado, US, celebrated 3 years nicotine-free! Dory started using the nicotine gum while trying to quit smoking. Instead of breaking free, she remained addicted to the nicotine gum for 14 years. For 14 years, Dory promised herself she’d quit but kept on chewing.
3 years ago, Dory came across the CBQ Program and decided to join. This changed everything for her. “CBQ Method turned my world upside down. This method steps, were uncoiling a matrix of thoughts, beliefs, shames, traumas, faux rewards, smoke and mirrors and really really altering my body’s bio-chemistry. She went in at each angle to help me unhook my relationship to nicotine.”
“If you are this path- I commend you. I did not know I could do it and here I am smiling at you with my certificate and drinking my coffee.”
3 years later, Dory is still nicotine-free and happy!
Tip of the Week
This week’s tip comes from CBQ Program member Melissa Budworth from Queensland, Australia, who has been a happy non-smoker for over a year now. All her life, Melissa was told she had an addictive personality but she proved everyone (including herself) wrong. She broke free from smoking and it was easier than she ever thought possible. As an added bonus, since quitting smoking she has saved over AUD$15,000!
Melissa’s tip: All you have to do is commit.
“I purchased the program and only made it to day 5. I can’t remember the excuse I used to stop mid way. I “tried” again about a month later and made it to day 7. It was simply fear of failing for me. About a year after buying the CBQ program I was so annoyed and disappointed with myself the same as you are feeling. Finally I just committed to completing the program and trying my best. That was all I had to do. Commit! smoked my last cigarette on February 4th 2023. It was so much easier than I thought it could ever be. I smoked for 40 years and never thought I could quit.
If I can do it…..so can you.”
Inspiring Commitment
Since our last newsletter, CBQ Program member Paula Gibson from Ontario, Canada, celebrated 1 year smoke-free. Paula broke a 45-year addiction and completely transformed her relationship with smoking. When she was 4 months smoke-free, she lost her beloved mom and despite the grief and stress that came with this loss, Paula never turned to smoking because, as she told me, she had completely reprogrammed her mind. Paula knew smoking would do nothing to help her.
1 year later, Paula is happy and looks back at her “life changing” success.
Inspiring Success
Two days ago, CBQ Program member Erin Langan from Pennsylvania, US, celebrated 2 years smoke-free! Erin was convinced she’ll never quit smoking let alone feel content or happy without it! After lots of research and thinking, she decided to give the CBQ Program a proper shot and to her surprise, she made it! This is what Erin said: “I have tried many different methods to quit in the past but nothing worked. I’m so glad I found CBQ.”.. “I never thought I would make it through the first 24 hours.” Now Erin is 2 years smoke-free!
This is Erin with her CBQ Success Certificate that she shared hoping “it will help current smokers feel motivated to break free from their addiction.”
As always, I want to say a big thank you to all our members who gave me permission to share their stories.
