Good questions on what or where are the incentives to abstain from OS...that those of us who used to have up to 100 or more consecutive OS free days...who now struggle to get a few consecutive days together???

For me...it may be the accountability has run its course for a while as an incentive. I feel lousy that I caved in today. What needs to change?

The list used to have the date of OS sobriety--

Mary - 7/15 - 30 days
Bob - 8/1 - 14 days
Jack - 8/14 - 1 day

That's one suggestion. Another incentive for me was to take body measurements and view this thread as a major part of improvements. I haven't done my body measurements in maybe 4 or 6 months because I am afraid I may not have improved.

Do I face my fear...or do I evade it or deny it like I have so many things in my life/

Any thoughts on incentives whould be appreciated. Thanks. Take care.
