Quitting Smoking? You need more than one leg to balance on!

No, I'm not crazy! I just thought it was a catchy title that would grab your attention and get you to read on.

Support is the one tool that you want to be multi-legged as it is one of your strongest allies in the battle to quit smoking. Think about it. What if your kitchen stools only had one leg on them for support. Do you think it would make sitting down for dinner that much more difficult? Sure it would. You wouldn't be able to eat in comfort because all your time would be spent concentrating on not falling over.

Would adding a second leg help? Of course. By concentrating on a stool that only moves side to side or back and forth, our attentions can be more focused on the goal we are seeking to accomplish.

Let's now add the third leg, which by the way has been shown to be the most stable arrangement for a stool, and what do we get. Right - perfect stability. We can now sit with complete confidence upon our three legged stool and focus all our attention on our letter because we no longer have the fear of falling over (failure).

So what does this have to do with quitting smoking? Everything! Why make it difficult on yourself by trying to quit completely on your own when there are people out there who would be more than happy to be on your support team. Having a couple of friends to call on would certainly add to your stability, but having four or five wouldn't hurt either.

Although having five legs of support on a stool may look funny, having this number of support people at your disposal when quitting smoking is smart. But be sure to inform whomever you ask to help you that they don't harp on or badger you about quitting, only to be there when you need their valued assistance. And if you are courageous enough, and I hope you are, make a pact with yourself that if at any time after you quit you are tempted by yourself or someone else that having 'just one' wouldn't hurt, you must call all your 'legs' and say "Hi, it's me. I've decided to start smoking again." If you can make it through all of these phone calls and still believe that 'one' won't hurt, I'd be very surprised.

FREEDOM from the cigarette will come once you've made up your mind and enlisted all the tools you can find, including the multi-legged support system.
