No, I'm not crazy! I just thought it was a catchy title that would grab your attention and get you to read on. What I'm alluding to here is a metaphor for what is one of the most effective tools you can use when quitting smoking. And that's SUPPORT. What would you do if you had a stool with only one leg? Could you even use it? Suppose you tried. Do you really think that you would be able to concentrate on the job at hand if all you were thinking about is if the stool would fall over? Not very likely. 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. 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. Find the right people to support and help you through the difficult times and before you know it, you will be FREE!
