WordbirdWordbirdPoints for Success

Hey congratulations! 

 

Gnar you would normally set up the log so your points are for success. Not the number of cigarettes you smoked. So for instance if the goal was to eat healthy, I don't give myself points for each junk food I eat.

 

That's why we don't need a zero, normally.

 

You would assign a scale where for instance 1 means you didn't do well with it that day; and 10 means you succeeded in not smoking at all. The more points you have, the more success you have. 

 

However! It's set up this way and seems to be working other than the need for a zero.   I might at this point give myself "100" for every day I don't smoke. So I earn big points, and it really sticks out from the other days. Because the log should make you feel good when you look at it, as you see your success build. 

 

But however you do it, what's great is your success!!! Any day without a cigarette is impressive, and a good thing.

Okay so I'm on day 2 of no smokes. But when I try to enter then number zero, the site won't let me. So I entered 1.

Hey remember the movie "airplane" where what's-his-face is always saying "I picked the wrong day to quit smoking" (...and drinking, and sniffing glue, etc). Yeeeeaaaah that was yesterday for me! It was supposed to be my first day on the patch and not smoking. Well first thing in the morning we found my wife's car had been broken into and otherwise destroyed. DEFINETLY the wrong day to quit smoking!!! We're gonna try again tomorrow...

In fact I will join the Challenge as a supportive face, though I won't enter in the log.

hey I'm excited to see you making this Challenge! I quit many, many moons ago and I am grateful and glad that I did. What I had to do was decide there was no "failure" I could use as an excuse to give up. If I smoked more than I should that day, then I did. I gave myself a fresh beginning the next day. Toward the end I started, and quit again, several times in one day! It's easy to say, "I had a cigarette today so that blows my quit smoking program." It doesn't though. It's just a small set back.

 

Wishing you lots of popcorn (calorie free crunch and distraction that works!!), great support, loving attitude toward yourself, and the joy of success! Shore yourself up with every kind of support, and good activity and food and rest and praise, you can think of.
