Myth Or Fact?

I have tried to reward myself each day but it gets hard,I did not know that it was so importian. I did get a new jacket' and flowers for my 1 week. But have not followed through with the rewards that I had set up. I plan on following through with the rewards for now on. I will not let any thing get in the way of my quit. So now I am planing on buying 7 rewards and than giving myself one each day. This week I plan on buying little tings like bath beads for Monday, new tooth brush for Tuesday, Candels for Wensday, Night cream for Thersday, New Book for Friday, and than for my 2 weeks I will take my hubbie out. He is being so supportive he desreves a reward too. I will be away for the next 4 days on business so I will not be in tuch. Thank you all for being here when I need help. I was having a little craving when I came on and read this and now in just the short time it took me to plan my rewards I am ok again. I have been having a dickens of a time since this morning. When I went to pack I fund a full pack of somkes in my luggage. I through it in the garbag but then I started to think about them being there. It is funny I do not want a smoke but it keeps poping in my head that I threw out a full pack of smokes when I could have geven them away. I threw them out because I did not feel right giving them away and enableing someone to stay smoking. Then I though I am becoming an exsmoker. I now understand why exsomkers nag smokers about smoking. We know what it is doing to us. Any way I am rambleing on. Loved the Post Josie, I learn somthing new every time I come in hear.

Myth Or Fact?

I have been useing ice water too. It helps. I think that I am going to go shopping when I am away this week to see if I can find a nice water bottle. It will save me money because I buy botteled water and I can fill my water bottle at home before I leave for the office. That will make a nice reword for Sunday! LOL I may just buy 1 a week intill I have a few to do me. I can put them 1/2 full in the freezer at night and then fill them up. Thanks bj for the great ideal.
