Stop Smoking

Doreen Hook of Creedmoor, NC was addicted to Cigarettes for 44 years.

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 […]

Justin Verlinger of Fayetteville stopped smoking and refers many friends!

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 I failed. We found Leslie, gave a

Melinda Brisson of Dublin, NC stopped smoking for her 8 year old son.

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.  Although, I did not

Glen Gullie of Raleigh, North Carolina was a former smoker with multiple health problems for 45 years.

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 miles every day! I hated water and

Betty Brown of Kinston, NC stopped smoking after having COPD for 9 years.

Betty stopped smoking July, 2015 and is still smoke-free. Notes from July, 2015: Even though I love the feeling and relaxation of a shower, I used to dread getting into the shower. I hung my oxygen mask close by on the towel rod so I could put it on, quickly. During the showering process, I became

Jack Huestess of Bladenboro, NC was addicted to Cigarettes, Mt. Dews and BC Powders!

For 40 years, I had a habit of drinking 5 or 6 Mt. Dews, 5 or 6 BC powders (because of back pain) and a pack of cigarettes every day! For the past year, I’ve had trouble breathing, no energy and a sense of my health spiraling downward. For 10 to 15 minutes after I smoked a cigarette, I

I came to The STOP Clinic to stop smoking and got more than I paid for! I was waiting to share this information with you… just in case… I was probably just a little bit of a Doubting Thomas [smiling]. I had back problems for a lot years. My back would get really sore and start trying
