Find another reward!
This caught my attention. I'm struggling to find another reward. I logged on here actually because I was feeling tempted to reward myself with wine this evening because I worked so hard to finish up my finals for school today. I agree with you that I shouldn't view wine as an award, but I don't know what to replace it with.
