Happy Spotlight Wednesday, and Happy New Year!
On behalf of the entire CBQ Method team, we’re here to help you break free in 2026.
May this new year be filled with possibility, free you from old burdens, and enrich your life in every way.
To celebrate this new beginning, I’m sharing a few powerful CBQ success stories and tips to help you step into 2026 with health and freedom.
Inspiring Milestone
Today, CBQ Quit Smoking Program member Fred Berish from Arizona, US, celebrated 6 years smoke-free!
Fred was a smoker all his life. During his Ask An Ex interview, he shared that he started thinking about quitting when he turned 50 years old, because he wanted to make sure he’d be around his family for as long as possible. Trying to quit, Fred used patches, medication and hypnosis but always felt deprived and relapsed because of cravings.
Because of his past failed attempts, Fred was skeptical when he found the CBQ Program, but he decided he would try.
The outcome shocked him. This is what Fred said:
6 years later, he’s still a happy non-smoker!
Inspiring Freedom
This week, CBQ Quit Smoking Program member Michael J. Delaney from South Carolina, US celebrated 2 years smoke-free. Michael was such an avid smoker, that Marlboro shamelessly sent him coupons every year so he can remain loyal to them.
Not anymore.
After completing the CBQ Program, Michael took back his power and feels amazing. This is the first time in over 45 years, that Michael is truly free.
This is what he said with our program members group:
“I used to look forward to these like a kid with presents on Christmas. And now the greatest gift of all is the satisfaction of throwing them in the trash. Two years strong and counting. Give yourself a gift this Christmas, give yourself freedom from this s**t.”
