I have smoked 44 years and never thought I could do it and have tried many times to stop. This program gave me the strength to stay focused and gave me coping skills and ideas of how to deal with the thoughts. I think this program is worth a million dollars if it can get me to stop. Leslie also helped me work […]
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. […]

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 […]
One day while playing poker on a computer website, a lady mentioned that she stopped smoking with a laser treatment. The next day I began searching and The STOP Clinic came up on the first page of my search. I called Leslie Lyon and made an appointment. I asked my pulmonary specialist what he thought […]
