OT: 2nd Reward


18 years ago 0 16 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Hi duckie! Congrats on 16 days, I can't wait to get there. It seem so far away! I think it's great that you rewarded yourself. After all what good is success without a reward?

3rd Reward: Ok...managed to go to Books a Million for a book...son cleaned the livingroom, bathroom, and mopped a few areas for me :) So as a treat for him helping me out, I bought him 2 books :) And since Daughter helped me a few days back, I did the same w/ her too. Ok..for my treat: I bought a cd called, "Stress Relief" which helps you relax and destress. I also bought this other one called "Positive Thinking" as I htink it will reinforce my reasons for quitting :) I cant wait to listen to them :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 4/4/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 18 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 150 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $36 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 15 [B]Mins:[/B] 34 [B]Seconds:[/B] 58

TY Melanie :) I sorta have learned if I reward myself for a job well done, then my family will benefit from me rewarding myself :) I have such a hard time dealing w/ rewards but once I learn to accept it is for me and it isnt taking away from my family, then it will come easier :) I used my stress release tape last night and my kids loved it too :) They said this morning they slept so peacefully :) It is like being born all over again. It's like taking off the sunglasses and looking at life thru my eyes again. I wish I could articulate it w/o sounding like such a goof ball. I think I actually love myself at this very moment. I am so very proud of myself!! My children have realized Mom isnt perfect and they have actually started helping me out. *kodak moment* I feel alive!

I'll add to that reward list Calvin Klein Euphoria perfume YUMMY! - a little bit of heaven in a bottle. Reaped the rewards of that as soon as my husband (who quit with me) got a smell of that, I got the best HUG there ever was. Hmmmmm. Ok, nuf said.

WAY TO GO Duckie!!! I love your reward choices! I rewarded myself with a wireless phone yesterday. My other phone seems to disappear the second a teenage male child stir's from slumber. I was sick of having to hunt for it! So...my reward is a new phone I can put in my room and ban its use by anyone else in the house.
