I have not had a cigarette in about 5 years now, my very last one was in the parking lot of The STOP Clinic. I was skeptical, unhappy about the cost of cigarettes, and anxious all at the same time. I had tried quitting many times, using every method out there… nothing really worked, and […]
In 2005, my 8 year old son came to me sobbing “Mama, please stop smoking. Don’t you want to be here to see your grandchildren?” He had never said anything to me about smoking until this moment but his dad had died suddenly the previous year from a heart attack at the age of 38. […]
Prior to meeting Leslie Lyon at The STOP Clinic, I was having a horrible problem with circulation and breathing. One of the first things she said to me was, “You have a little whistle when you exhale.” [smiles] When I tried to walk a block, it would kill my legs. Now, I am walking 2 […]
I started smoking when I was a junior in college. At the beginning I wouldn’t buy my own pack… I just bummed from whoever was smoking around me. Bumming eventually lead to buying a pack a week at age 23 to a pack a day at age 35. When I went and saw Leslie in […]
I smoked a pack of cigarettes for 38 years straight and tried everything to quit but when I would quit in the past, I would miss smoking so much that I’d ruin my chances to stop permanently. I saw Leslie in Raleigh and had the treatment and from that moment, I relaxed and became a non-smoker! I did […]
I find it hard to know where to begin in this testimonial. This program has given me so much to be thankful for. I smoked for 20+ years. Being a strong-willed single parent, smoking was a way to take a break from everything. My biggest motivation to stop smoking was actually the expense of smoking a pack […]
Fifteen years ago (1999), I came to The STOP Clinic to stop smoking after trying everything there was possible for ten years! This program provided everything I needed to help me stop smoking … counseling, behavior modification, aides and the electrical acupuncture treatment that took away the cravings. After the treatment (having smoked for 20+ years), I […]
I quit smoking a few times before and found it very difficult each time. Even though I thought this program would make it easier, I was truly amazed by HOW easy it made it. I had virtually zero cravings, and now after about 5 weeks, surrounded by smokers in my daily life, I have NO need […]
It was almost seven years ago that I had my last “KOOL FILTER KING” after seeing Leslie Lyon at The STOP Clinic. I went from over two packs a day to zero after my first visit. I had sudden, instantaneous thoughts about lighting up for a while, but the thoughts became weaker and further apart until they were completely gone and I had […]
Dear Leslie, Hardly a day has passed in the last 26 years that I haven’t thought of you, and thanked God for bringing you into my life. If you can remember, I was a 3-pack a day smoker for almost 30 years before I met you. Your program was the easiest thing I’ve ever done. […]
