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 Story
This week, CBQ Quit Smoking Program member Angela Eng from Colorado, US, celebrated 1 year smoke-free! Angela was a sworn smoker for over 46 years. After trying everything to quit, from Chantix to hypnosis, she started believing nothing could ever work for her.
Then one day, she read a CBQ Quit Smoking Program success story and decided to give quitting one last try. After joining the program, she followed every daily step… and within two weeks, she had reprogrammed her mind and no longer wanted to smoke!
1 year later, Angela is still a happy non-smoker!
This is what she shared about her journey:
“I had been a smoker for 46+ years. I had tried Chantix, patches, hypnosis but still was a smoker. This is the first program that worked for me. Retraining your brain to be nicotine free works. I was stuck at day 3 for awhile but finally made up my mind and continued the program and it worked for me without any issues after that. Whenever a craving thought came up I replaced it with a happy and healthy thought. I highly recommend this program if you really want to be a nonsmoker.”

Inspiring Milestone
Yesterday CBQ Quit Smoking Program member Caroline Kipp from Germany celebrated 5 years smoke-free! At first, Caroline was hesitant to join the CBQ Program, but she knew she had to give herself a fair chance at success.
The result?
Her investment paid off in time, money, and above all… freedom.
“I was a bit hesitant to buy the program. To be honest I had just moved continents, no job and at the beginning of Covid. So money was tight. But I knew I had to take a chance. I had watched Nasia Davos videos and loved what she was offering for free.” … “What I loved about the program is that you’re not told to quit smoking on day one, you don’t use willpower, something I had used before and fell back into the trap. This is the longest I have been a non-smoker and cheers to many many many more years. I watched the videos and did the assignments and exercises. I am soooo happy now. I can breathe, I love the way my clothes smell, I workout without losing breath. I am happy!! Best decision I ever made was to take a chance.”
At her 5-year milestone, Caroline is still a happy non-smoker.

Bonus Tip of the Week
This tip comes from CBQ Quit Smoking Program member Krista Hillyer from Georgia, US, who celebrated 2 weeks smoke-free this week!
When asked “What did quitting smoking teach you?”, Krista said this:
Never be too proud to ask for help.
“To never be too “proud” or ashamed to ask for help in any kind of situation. Everything worth doing in life takes a village to accomplish. I’m grateful to Nasia for creating this incredible CBQ program and continuing to actively participate in each member’s journey, to the fantastic support staff members and to everyone in this village who helped me to become a happy non-smoker. Thank you all!”
To your freedom,
