Quitting smoking isn't a one-legged task!

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.

Now what would happen if we added a second leg? Would it be easier to maintain balance. Sure it would. You would only have to give it half the attention for with two legs it would only move back and forth or side to side. And this would make it far easier to maintain balance and keep your attention on the task at hand.

What if we brought the leg count up to three? Is it any more stable? Without a doubt. It has been stated that three legs is the minimum to attain perfect stability. And with this stability, we are free to focus our attention on the task at hand.

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.

Here's the thing though. When asking for support from these friends, it is of utmost importance that you also ask that they don't repetively question you about 'how it's going'. We want your support system to be approachable when you need them, not have the people in it grilling you all the time. It is also a good idea to make a pact within your support group, if you have the courage, in that if you ever come to think that 'just one' won't hurt, you MUST get on the phone and call each and every one of your 'legs' and let them know you've decided to continue smoking. Make it through all of those phone calls and still think smoking is a good idea and 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.
