CBQ Spotlights

Celebrating YOU: This week’s spotlights [March 18, 2026]

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.

Let’s dive in!

Inspiring Transformation: Vape-Free

This week CBQ Quit Smoking Program member Kellie Langan from South Carolina, US, is celebrating 4 years vape-free!! Kellie was a smoker who switched to vaping, hoping it would help her quit. But vaping quickly became a new addiction.

Even though Kellie wanted to quit nicotine for good, she couldn’t put her vape down. She tried to quit on her own, many times, but nothing really worked until she joined the CBQ Program.

As Kellie shared, she was able to let go of vaping with the CBQ Program and even enjoyed the process! Not only that, but the CBQ program opened her up to new ways of thinking and showed her how to change anything she wanted in her life.

Powerful!

4 years later, Kellie is still a happy non-vaper! You can watch a short video of her sharing her experience here.

Inspiring Milestone: 8 Years Smoke-Free

This week, CBQ Quit Smoking Program member Diane Zukowski (née Felix) from Vermont, US, celebrated 8 years smoke-free. Diane used to smoke cigarettes and cigarillos. As Diane told me herself during her Ask An Ex interview, almost all her life, smoking felt like a friend and a way to cope with her anxiety and chronic pain.

Diane has always been a very strong and independent woman, and she hated depending on cigarettes for everything. While searching for ways to quit smoking for good, she came across the CBQ Program and decided to join.

She committed fully to the process, and the rest is history. She quit on March 15, 2018.!

Within 5 years she saved $21,000 USD (which she invested and more than doubled). Most importantly, she regained her health and freedom.

Inspiring Transformation: Nicotine Freedom & Food Freedom

CBQ Quit Smoking Program member Fiona Hims from Warwickshire, United Kingdom, celebrated 4 years smoke-free. In her own words “I quit smoking on 16 March 2022 and feel very proud of my achievement, having made numerous failed attempts to quit over many years!

Nasia’s cognitive behaviour approach made complete sense right from the start and changing my smoking pattern from as early as Day 4 did not fill me with panic but with curiosity and desire. For me, that was different to any other method.”

…”I want to thank Nasia for producing such great videos, always understanding my ‘demons’ and welcoming me to her on-line program with love and compassion. Nasia – you are a very special human being. Your visualization was particularly powerful.

I don’t like smoking or hate smoking…….I just choose not to smoke any more. I am happy with my decision to choose freedom and would encourage anyone who wants the benefits of being a non-smoker to start this journey. You will start feeling like the real, best, healthiest version of you within a very short time!”

Now she’s the healthiest, happiest, and most at peace she’s ever been.

Inspiring Journey

This week, CBQ Program member Dara Laughlin from New Hampshire, US, celebrated 2 year smoke-free!

Dara knew she had to quit smoking after suffering a heart attack, but she wasn’t sure how to do it, or if she could make it last.

While in the hospital, doctors told her that smoking was her only risk factor for another heart attack and gave her a nicotine patch.

But when she got home, Dara searched for a better way. She found the CBQ Method, took off her patch, joined the CBQ Program…

And she quit for good!

2 years after her quit date, Dara is still smoke-free and happy!

I hope today’s spotlights inspired you and showed you that you can also break free! A big thank you to our members who gave me permission to share their stories with you.

To your freedom,
