Those 7 extra days to your life is a tremendous reward! Keep those days coming!

I've just quit (yesterday) and I'm now taking notes from all of you who have just posted with all of your idea's for rewards! Some I know I cannot afford - but I can certainly go for the candles, the soaps, personal care items I just love, and who knows maybe in time - a very long time - a vacation! I personally think that a reward for milestones are crucial. But I also believe that little things each day fill that 'pleasure zone' which I used to receive from a cig. I just keep picking up so many useful pieces of information from this site.. it's GREAT ! :) J xo [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 4/4/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 45 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $10.25 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 51 [B]Seconds:[/B] 45

I love the reward system and have used it to its fullest. The first week I rewarded myself with a cappucino from Tim Hortons, and continued each week with one. I have had massages, facials, pedicures, manicures, bought jewellery, went to Vegas, bought a car, bought little and bought big, the most important is I rewarded myself because I am worth it and so are you!!! It wqorked for me but may not be for everyone.

Martha, that was a great post there!! I appreciate that. I am going to come up with more rewards. I have way too many candles now. I think a trip to bath and body works is in order. LOL I really see your point there. I do need to have a reward because Lord knows, I called myself having a reward as a smoker. Great Post and Thank You. Man, will you swap stats with me?

Melanie, I just wanted you to know that I appreciated your sharing that. I hope that your husband has much success with his quit, and if a few rewards help to reinforce that success, then I think it's a heck of a good idea! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/6/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 30 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 768 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $277.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 5 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 14 [B]Seconds:[/B] 13

Hmmmm. Maybe y'all have a stronger constitution than I ever had?! I clung to my rewards the first month. Especially the first week. I loved buying candles, air fresheners, Starbucks, perfume, great smelling soaps (are you catching the theme here?). I took baths, walks, rented movies, slept a lot, cooked a lot and cried a lot. That last one may not sound like a reward but I let myself feel whatever I was feeling without putting a lot of pressure to "pull myself together" or worry about what I "should" be feeling. My reward for a LOT of things as a smoker was of course...a cigarette. After a task, after a long meeting, blah blah blah. So replacing those and giving myself something to look forward to was huge for me. Even after 30 days because then the excitement waned and I needed to encourage myself. Just one woman's experience...

Cigarettes Not Smoked

I must say, I have been doing some early research on a mountain bike (this is my 6 month, money saved purchase). It may have to happen prematurely so I can get some riding in before the dog days get here! Just having me think about getting fit is refreshing and a reward in itself :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/16/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 79 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,588 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $221.2 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 7 [B]Hrs:[/B] 17 [B]Mins:[/B] 32 [B]Seconds:[/B] 25
