    How did you reward yourself for another af day?

    Hi all,

    I thought I would put it out there...I think rewarding yourself is so important. I reward myself today by:

    - having a nice bath and chilling out
    - reading my new book 'when everything changed. The amazing journey of American women from 1960 to the present' (and I thought j had problems?!?!
    - had a lovely dinner with my husband

    It has been a successful couple of days. Started the big clear out for the big move, got all my documents in order to file for my hubbys us green card, applied for a job in San fran and saw my counsellor.

    I would love to hear what everyone has done today!

    I love your positive posts Cassia! You always make me smile - thank you!!

    I am now sober over two months and I don't reward myself as much as I should. I kind of feel like I am walking on eggshells and don't want to jinx anything! I don't have cravings, etc. so I am not worried that way...I guess I am just paranoid! I do take nice baths every so often, play with my kids more, just enjoy my life more. That in itself is a reward to me. This is getting me thinking though...I could use a new pair of boots....lol!!

    When everything seems like an uphill struggle, just think of the view from the top!!

      Read my book this evening rather than pass out on the couch.

          The time that I have gained by not drinking AL is my reward! Instead of having a drink when I get home after work I have a bath and some times a 30 min nap also!

              How did you reward yourself for another af day?

              I've rewarded myself by getting hideously deep into debt. I've paid megabucks to get my garden in order. I've brought in 45 limestone blocks and am in the process of building retaining walls/garden beds. On 10th and 11th I'm having $11 000.00 worth of artificial turf laid in my front and backyards.
              Before AL took hold I was a very keen gardener, and now that I'm AF I'm dead keen to get back into it.

              What might have been is an abstraction
              Remaining a perpetual possibility
              Only in a world of speculation.
              What might have been and what has been

                  I have so much energy that I can't seem to nap I have prepared some lovely meals again! My house is clean and orderly -- the clutter inside of me and my house is reduced each day. For that I am grateful.

                    My biggest reward is when my 23 daughter calls me at 9:30 pm and I can say in a snappy voice, "Hi Hun, what's up?" instead of forcing each word out so as not to sound drunk. She actually was calling to arrange a day spent together shopping. That's a first. Reward enough for moi!!

                    I love books and can't read while drinking. I am reading, reading, reading. My bookshelves are bulging with unread books. Just finished Drowing Ruth and am starting another.

                    I do this for my children, my grandchildren, my health, my peace of mind, and mostly for the opportunity to learn to live with my true, unfiltered, clear-headed, vulnerable self.

                      Put the money you would normally spend on alcohol aside and at the end of the week/month, treat yourself to something like a facial, manicure, etc.

                        I've been loving to reward myself with yoga and a personal trainer. Smoothies!!
