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's the point I am trying to make? A very simple one actually. By enlisting the help of support friends (legs) the efforts of quitting smoking won't fall solely on you. There will be a couple of other friends there to assist you. Even four or five buddies to call on would not be excessive.

The important think to ask of the people whom you confide in for support is to ask that they remain at your disposal and not badger you with questions like 'How is it going?' everyday. You don't want your support team to be a hindrance in trying to reach your goals, but a help. And one other thing. If you the courage to do it, make a deal with them and yourself in that if you ever decide you may want to have 'just one' cigarette that you MUST call each and every one of them and tell them you've decided to continue smoking. Make it through all your support 'legs' without being talked out of doing something silly like that and I would be quite surprised.

Get the right support and you will be free.
