My reward system.

[bif]

To help keep me sober, I have a reward system. If I make it through the day without having anything to drink, and that includes sneaking a sip of my wife's wine, I treat myself to a bowl of ice cream before going to bed. Sure I've gained some weight, but it isn't half as bad as the damage booze would be doing to me.

Anyone else use this system? What is your reward of choice?

1. I hope that this works for you and

continues to do so.

2. If it works, keep it up.

For me it was finding out where all that pain was coming from that I was using drugs to kill. Once I found out and dealt with those, drugs were not a problem. A few years of therapy and a degree in psychology did the trick. Hard work but well worth it.

3. My son still smokes cigarettes

Some people in the family (who don’t know most of his story) are bugging him to quit. I say if it keeps him away from shooting up, puff away.

4. Scented candles

Similiar cost to my chem of choice, the candle burns for longer time.
