Is anyone else planning some sort of reward for being AF for a month? I'm thinking about doing a yoga retreat - they don't allow alcohol - and when I was contemplating going before, I started thinking of ways I'd have to sneak some wine in, or ways to drive to town. But now ... after only 6 days AF, it seems more do-able.

How are you going to reward yourself for a month AF?
Hi Zin - Don't ever think 'only' day anything! - those 6 days could be the most important of your life - you've taken back control, you're starting to carve a new future - WOW! - it's fantastic so be proud!
I also think rewards are a great idea! Infact, I think they're so good that I didn't wait until 30 days - I gave myself rewards as I went along to help me get to 30 days! New bubbles for the bath, a trip to the hairdresser, new shoes for a new fitness programme, and my favourite - a trip to the spa to the saunas, solariums and steam baths - not only did it feel like a special treat, it also felt so good psychologically feeling all those toxins leaving my body.
(note the treats were rather selfish - feel good for me, not the kids for once!)
Not drinking I could justify the rewards with the money I was saving - sure made the 30 days go quicker (mind you, totting up the expense I don't think i came out ahead, but I felt a heck of a lot better for it!)
Enjoy your retreat - but how about throwing in a few rewards ahead of time - go on, you deserve it!!:rays: Arial

right on Arial!
A simple pat on the back & a smile before I went to bed every night was all I needed. Then I opened my eyes & noticed the smiles on my childrens' faces & those became added rewards. Everyday I strive to find a reward because they are out there-it's like a treasure hunt!:flower: Change a life; make someone feel important. ................. ........................ ..................... ........................ ................. ....... sigpicComment
