Happy “Spotlight Day” and wishing you a Happy Easter in advance!
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 do it 🙂
Inspiring Transformation
This week CBQ Program member Marjorie Ayala from Arizona, US, celebrated 2 years smoke-free! Marj had tried to quit smoking before but nothing worked. She then joined the CBQ Program and even then – her fear caused her to restart the program many times without completing it. Once she committed to finishing the program she was a non-smoker. In her own words, “If I can do it, you can. It’s all about mind set!! Thank Nasia for the program. And all those things in the videos that really struck me and were brutally honest even if I didn’t want them to be.”
2 years later, Marj is healthier than ever and so happy with her decision!
“A success story and forever smoke free. I have been running half marathons and feel better then ever! I looked at smoking as a reward. But actually the reward is not smoking.”
Marj’s tip: Envision your smoke-free life
“Picture yourself smoke free and write what you, think feel what you would do differently. What would you do without worrying about smoke breaks, or sneaking away or having constant anxiety.
It’s really life changing!”

Inspiring Milestone
This week, CBQ Program member Michelle Warnock from Ontario, Canada, celebrated 4 years smoke-free!! 4 years ago, Michelle was worried about how she’d relieve stress without cigarettes, and could not imagine life without smoking. After struggling to quit on her own, Michelle found the CBQ Method and decided to join the CBQ program. She thought she had nothing to lose, and she was right: She quit!
4 years later, she is still cherishing and loving her smoke-free life.

Tip of The Week
This week’s tip comes from CBQ Program member Christine Anderson from California, US. Christine joined the CBQ Program filled with doubt and hope. During the program, she learned the difference between mindpower and willpower, and everything changed for her. She’s been a happy non-smoker since December 29, 2023 and this is her advice:
Christine’s tip: Change your self-talk
“Change the “If I can quit” to “When I quit”…Having smoked for what feels like forever and being a NON-smoker for a little over 15 months now I will tell you the improvements you’ll feel at the gym and even just climbing stairs will make you so happy…Everytime I do an activity with no huffing & puffing or pains in my lungs I think wow just over a year ago I couldn’t even do this without gasping for air and here I am no shortness of breath…So keep the positive thoughts, keep doing the program and you’ll be a non-smoker in no time!!”
To your freedom,
