- Welcome to episode #5 of Ask an Ex.
In this video, you’ll hear Dolly’s story of how she quit smoking after 23 years in February 2019!
Dolly has an amazing story with a lot of valuable lessons and tips!
She tried to quit smoking many times in the past to no avail. She tried nicotine substitutes, ear magnet, pills and cold turkey.
After going through the CBQ program she quit, but she found it so easy she couldn’t believe how it happened.
Then she found herself in a tempting situation and relapsed, but she knew she’d never smoke again. And she didn’t. That was on the 15th of February 2019.
Later, her resolve was tested again but she didn’t cave and didn’t feel deprived either!
Best thing, I had the pleasure of meeting her in London and gave her her success certificate in person :)
In this video, Dolly shares:
- How she quit smoking.
- Tips to turn a brief relapse into a lesson so that you won’t go back to smoking.
- What she enjoys the most about being a non-smoker.
- What helps her when she feels stressed.
- What you should you if you have “just one cigarette” after your quit date.

Thanks for watching! 😄 Let Dolly and I know what you took away from her journey that can help you in yours. :) 🙏
amazing - she relapses when she wants to but she doesn't want to!!! this makes me less scared... thanks both.
There's a lot to like about this video. The imagery of putting out a cigarette on your lungs was particularly potent!
But the biggest positive takeaway for me is simply the fact that these videos exist at all. I once heard someone say that "addiction is a disease of isolation". As someone who has been sober through a 12-step program (read: community and a LACK of isolation) for most of my adult life, that IMMEDIATELY made sense. Yet I never realized until today that I need that very same sense of community with others who have been through or are going through the very same things in relation to quitting nicotine. And these videos are certainly part of feeling plugged into a community that can truly help. As Nasia knows, my day today started out pretty roughly, to say the least. But it has turned 180 degrees simply by virtue of truly plugging into the program and the other people there! (My intuition is SCREAMING at me that this is a big part of what has been missing for me with quitting nicotine.)
So, thanks for doing these, Nasia. And thanks, Dolly, for taking part. You mentioned a desire to help others. Well, you DEFINITELY have with this! Quitting is clearly life-altering, so any time you can help someone do so, that's about as significant a thing as you can do!
Thank you for commenting Bart! Really glad Dolly helped you and also that you found the missing piece of the puzzle for you: community! My team and I and everyone on the group are here for you- you are not alone! N.
Thank you Dolly for your story and Nasia for the interview. I've been working on my mental addiction since the 1st of january 2023. I'm not in Nasia's program but I've taken so much from all her videos and the 4 steps of CBQ. Up till about a week ago I've been very confident in my quit and now all of a sudden I'm struggling with talking back to my craving mind and I'm smoking more than I have been. I've noticed I'm slowly increasing the number of cigs I'm having in a day and this is making me sad. I thank you for your story because even though I still feel dismayed with my journey right now, I still have a deep down belief that I am and will be a non-smoker on my quit date. Feb 5th is the date.
Good point, if you relapse, don't make it the end of the world. Pick yourself up and keep in going.
One more comment, Nasia said what happens when you change your thoughts. For YEARS, in my spiritual quest, I've read/heard many times, change your thoughts, CHANGE YOUR LIFE!! This fits PERFECTLY!!❤
Hi Nasia, thanks for all... I´m a Brasilian English Learner and it was when I was practicing my English by watching your TED TALK to improve my skill english that I was able to quite smoking. It was almost 20 years by smoking... I´ve studied carefully all your speech and after that I was able to just to quite, without fear, no much stress and without pain... Thank you very much by the TED TALK, it was the best of all. GOD BLESS YOU!!!!
Congratulations on your success and thank you so much for your kind words! glad you liked my ted talk, it means a lot.
Yes her Ted talk was amazing! God bless
Inspiring story!
I like the fact of monitoring your smoking. When we smoke we are on outopilot doing it unconciously and thats where we over smoke. When you count and write down every cigarette you smoke, it forces you to be mindful and make you wonder a lot! Im using this tip and l drasticly reduced the amout of smoke which is amazing! Eventually l will stop monitoring and thats when l become smoke free 😁
Thank you for sharing this great tip!
Yes, a very inspiring story and a great tip indeed! Thank you so much for commenting! ^^
I've been stuck on day 1 for a WHILE now, and although I thought I knew what Nasia was saying, my thought was, I'm doing something wrong, this isnt working. But after watching this video, I realize what I need to do. Just keep moving forward in the program, regardless of whether or not I FEEL like it's working or not, and almost like, let the program do the work FOR ME. 'Hope this makes sense!! THANK YOU Nasia and Dolly!!!❤🎉
Thank you for sharing these testimonials. They are a big help.
Thankyou you dolly and welldone on your success I will take away from what you have done,is you are doing it godbless you both for inspiring me to become a non smoker❤
Amazing , this is giving me so much hope thank you guys!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I have tried everything even Quit Smoking books that didn't seem to help me
What if you are three days in cold turkey. Can I still use your program
How are you doing Tammy? Yes you can still use the CBQ Method as a non-smoker
Thank you so much for sharing!
🙏
Replace cigarettes with colddrinks...have a dream without a cigarette...Smoke free life dream is compulsory..Drink too much of water...
Tolerate that thought.

How do I enroll into this program plz help!!
Hi Shehnaz, you can learn more about the program here: smokingcessationformula.com/programs/ Let me know if you have any questions :)

She makes it seem like the quit smoking method is some kinda of magic it’s not. I read the allen carr book 2/3 times it didn’t work.
We highly recommend you try the CBQ Method either by joining our members program like Dolly did or by applying the CBQ by yourself. Our paid program that Dolly talks about in this video is a full-on transformational course product of years of research and education and our members LOVE it! The magic definitely has to do with Dolly
@@CBQMethod I don’t have money but would cbq work if the allen carr book didn’t?
@@janereich5170 You can benefit from this UA-cam Channel for free. Yes, of course, the CBQ Method will work for you and we'll soon be launching the CBQ book too. The Allen Carr method is great for its time but is now outdated and does not follow a strategy based on psychology. Please watch the CBQ Method Essentials video playlist and you'll see why the CBQ is different from what you've tried before: ua-cam.com/play/PLtIqmOH9zfIt1OWCl7_WGBsZ7IuDgRKjd.html
