I don't reward myself at specific milestone dates, i.e., March 30 last marked a year without drinking for me, and I noted it, but didn't "celebrate" it. I do, however, reward myself quite often, indulging in hobbies, and such, things that I had tended to forget while an active drunk (active in a very layabout manner, btw
). Plus, life itself is now very much more rewarding. If you think incentives will work for you, well go ahead and treat yourself now and then--I think one of the keys of my getting sober was coming to like myself enough to feel that I was worthy of the odd treat. Best to you in your recovery, rick
