My 30 Day Reward - YOUR REWARDS?

Hi Everyone, After reading the recent post about how important rewards are, and that posting our rewards here is also a part of our journey of loving and acknowledging ourselves (and if one does it hopefully more will as well!) - I am here tooting my own horn about my 30 Day Reward I received today for me!! I have always loved Judith Ripka's exquisite jewelry designs (and she is now doing an amazing line of her designs on QVC) - and for my 30 Day Reward, I ordered my very first piece of Judith Ripka and it came today! I just opened it and I am so excited!! This lovely bangle with hearts all over it stands for my 30 DAYS - IT REMINDS ME OF MY SO VERY IMPORTANT 30 DAY ANNIVERSARY, and I wanted to share my excitement with all of YOU!! I will wear it and cherish it - that post was right on - this reward has soooooooo much meaning... I hope you all will share your rewards with all of us ~ it IS so important that we love and acknowledge ourselves... And it feels SO GOOD!! I am just sitting here with tears in my eyes. This beautiful piece of jewelry symbolizes my QUIT - my tenacity, my determination that I AM IN CHARGE OF MY LIFE NOW, not some bully junkie. It means so much and I am touched by this celebration in this moment. I am really doing this, I mean I really am. Won't you share in my excitement by posting some of YOUR rewards so we may celebrate with you!!! Many Blessings to all of you - thanks for being here, thanks for all the love and support. I KNOW that I would not be where I am in this moment without all of YOU, my little Quit family.

Going to Quit

Welcome Vick - We are here to support you, so make sure to post and let us know how we can help. The first thing that comes to mind is: how will this Quit be different for you than your other quits? (just a though that may bring some clarity for you). Stay strong and read and post often. Blessings and Light- Healer [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/5/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 37 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,318 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $172.05 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 4 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 19 [B]Seconds:[/B] 46

My return to smoking

cincere - I so agree w/several posts here. You have a built-in, ready-made Reward set up for you, IF you are willing for your trip to be that for you. And as we all know, no one can make the decision to quit but you. It took such courage to share your post w/all of us. I am grateful for your courage and for your post. It has touched me and I know it will touch others as well. I know you know there is love and support here for you. When you're ready.......... Many Special Blessings- Healer [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/5/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 37 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,320 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $172.05 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 4 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 28 [B]Seconds:[/B] 41

A Touchy Topic for me

Hi Eve, Right now you are very vulnerable. I know that what worked for me, was to create some ME space, some really firm boundaries. I invite you to take one moment at a time. If a person or a situation makes you uncomfortable, pull yourself back. And make sure to keep your Quit in your hands - hold on to it, don't let it get hurt or lost in frustration or any other emotion. Emotions were and many times still are all over the place, so I have to really keep a handle on myself. For example, a friend wanted me to go w/her to dinner last evening. Well, I had to really check in w/myself to 'see' where I was: i.e. - how long is my fuse right now? am I emotionally grounded right now? would it support me to be alone or have the company of friends? Right now take care of YOU and protect that Quit w/everything you have. And distance yourself if that is what you need. The WHY of it is not that important, dear one, at least right now... And trying to figure it all out will exhaust and frustrate you:) If something or someone doesn't feel 'right' just go in another direction for now - Blessings and Light- Healer [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/5/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 37 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,320 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $172.05 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 4 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 26 [B]Seconds:[/B] 47
