Bear,
Thanks for your post. Here are some reasons why it is so important to reward yourself:
1- Rewards positively reinforce the behaviors you are trying to establish.
2- Rewards give you something to work towards. Resisting cravings will be easier if you are rewarded for overcoming temptation.
3- Rewards are motivational and make you happy.
Tips
1- Reward yourself for every craving you overcome and every situation/trigger that you've handled well, smoke free.
2- Choose rewards you value and are willing to work towards. Acquiring them must be important to you.
Hope this helps.

good advice here, there is light at the end of the tunnel for sure, I love the little rewards, and of course the big one too, but as alwasy everyday day that is smokefree is a reward :) Tresa

Thanks bear,
I haven't been here I picked up a virus on my computer. Ahhh....goats do indeed have brains. I fixed it!!!! I was looking up about "THE BIG FOOT SIGHTING" in Pa. I was reading websites and looking at the picures someone recently took and found a website that said there was a video clip.
Ahhhhh supidity....I downloaded the clip and got a virus. (how can goats be so smart and dumb at the same time) The virus is called IEPrentender.
I found the cure in some computer geek website. But I fixed it.
So...I'm back.
Mercy

You gotta be motivated my friends to quit smoking and in order to be motivated you gotta have your rewards and they come in 2 flavours your external and your internal.Now this might be hard to swallow when your going through hell week or heck week so it's important that you give yourself a little treat it's good for the brain and you know something I'm not to sure that it's a bad idea for people further along in their quits as reinforcment that we're doing pretty good too.Hmmm I wonder what I can get today. :p
