How will you reward yourself? - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Roxy88 · 12-04-2005, 10:53 AM

I am curious how everyone plans to reward themselves, they say that it is an important part of quitting.

Everyday I have been putting the money I would've spent on smokes into a savings account. There is a bottle of perfume that I REALLY want, it's $90. I almost have enough for that! Maybe go out for a nice dinner or two, buy some things for my house.

What do you plan to do with your extra cash???

I never really thought about it Hmmm...there is a Brighton watch that I have been wanting. Yup! I think that's going to be it.

Lesse....8 x $4 (ok ok, it was a pack and a half!) 8 x $6 = $48.00. Half way there!

At 2 weeks I am buying that watch!

I'm saving mine for the SR Retreat trip to Palm Springs!!!

I want to be able to go and not worry about whatever I want to do.

Shalom!

I'm going to wait until I have enough to get my hair cut, colored and highlighted. Just in time for Christmas. YooHoo

I get something at the end of each week. This is what I did the last time I quit. Soooooo this week, I bought yet another bottle of my favorite hair mousse. Which is 15 dollars a bottle. And yesterday while I was waiting for my prescription to be filled, I bought another candle. Loooove my candles.

Shammy! Wait for me! I am way OVERDUE for a color. Hmmmmm, maybe we could go together and then splurge on a massage too!!

I'm going to get new windscreen wipers, because mine squeak and they are driving us all nuts!

Squeak, squeak, squeak... and we drive at least an hour in the morning to get to school...squeak, squeak, squeak... then another half an hour to get to work...squeak, squeak, squeak... then the whole thing in reverse in the evening....squeak, squeak, squeak....

I did say that they squeaked, didn't I?

Oh, and we're going to Rome on Friday for the weekend
