Happy “Spotlight Wednesday”!
Today, I’m excited to share with you some of this week’s most inspiring success stories and tips from the CBQ community.
Inspiring Milestone
This week, CBQ Quit Smoking Program member Angela Shetters from Georgia, US, celebrated 2 years smoke-free! Angela was a smoker for 16 years and her biggest obstacle to quitting smoking was socializing without cigarettes.
After trying to quit on her own many times, Angela found the CBQ masterclass and decided to join the program and give herself the best chance at success.
This is what happened:
“First I just want to say a huge thank you to Nasia for coming up with the CBQ method and also the amazing people that are a part of her team. Not only was I effortlessly able to quit smoking but I also learned so much about my thought patterns and habits. I started smoking as a teenager. I smoked for around 16 years and for most of that I was constantly wishing it was easier to quit.”
Angela’s biggest test came when it was time to socialize with other smokers.
“When I went to a small gathering at some family’s house, everyone there was smoking and I was even offered one and easily turned it down. This feels like a huge accomplishment for me! I have been a little nervous about social situations but now I am relieved that it was so easy.
I love the program I learned so much on ways to be mindful in many areas of my life so thank you for that! And showing me all the tools on how to live a happy smoke free life!! So amazing!!”
This is Angela celebrating her 2 years of freedom!
Inspiring Success
This week, CBQ Quit Smoking Program member Derek Lillie from Canada celebrated 1 year smoke-free.
He found the CBQ Program through his wife Paula, who used it to quit smoking 5 years ago!
Like so many of us, Derek had false starts, but once he made his quit a priority, he was successful.
Now, Paula and Derek are happy non-smokers and so proud of each other and their smoke-free lifestyle!
This is what Derek shared about his 1 year milestone:
Tip of the Week
This week’s tip comes from CBQ Program member Paula Ashley from California, US, who smoked for 50 years and has been smoke-free for a year and a half.
Paula’s tip: Look at your quit smoking journey as exciting, not scary
“YOU WILL LOVE IT! CBQ is a FANTASTIC PROGRAM! I like the fact that Nasia is a former smoker and knows what we go through step by step. I wish I had known about it a long time ago. Look at it as exciting, not scary. This group is wonderful in supporting each other. You are not alone. Happy trails!”
To your freedom,
