Do you reward yourself for non-smoking-related milestones?

[lujin4]

I didn't reward myself on milestones, other than to note them with surprise and satisfaction, because I was over-spending like crazy to begin with. But today was my 4-month smoke-free anniversary, and I had been so good about passing up several recent sales (!), that I went ahead and splurged today on the "no shipping" deal in order to stock-up on a few daily vape juices.

(Okay, the FDA seizure thing also has me a bit paranoid. I may splurge every 10 days if I start feeling more panicky!)

Way to go El congratz

I use every excuse I can think of to order stuff. The sun came out today, I should order some goodies. My 1 year anniversary is 6/1/11 and I think I got some Diamonds 2 months ago in honor of that date. I'm a junkie....

ps - Nevada, I'd love some insider info on what to do/where to go while I'm there. Mom tends to stick to the strip (meh), and I won't have my sister with me to run amok this time...

Hey Krash I just saw this...go ahead and PM me and I will drop some suggestions....we have a lot to do here that isn't Strip related

 

[Glam]

Yeah, Nevada: I saw some advertisements for non-strip related stuff when I was out there. Some of it being passed out on the street corners. Can you say............

 

[waylonjessi4ever]

For real gramva ...you gotta walk fast to not listen to those advertisers with their flyers or your whole vacation is gone for being "polite " lol .....god i wanna go to vegas again !

 

[Nev]

One of many reasons I don't go to the strip well except to work....

 

[Morandir835]

Not sure if I'm blacklisted from vegas, know atlantic city is a big no no......

 

[Bogey]

Love Vegas. Havn't been in a year or so now. Maybe I will take a long weekend when the quarter of our team gets back from maternity leave later this summer.

 

[Nev]

Well ya'll give me a holler anytime you are headed this way I would be more than willing to meet and fog up a bar or 2

Pretty sure I'm not blacklisted, but it's entirely possible that they have my pic on the dashboard of all of the cabs there. Somehow I bet your story is more interesting than mine, though!

Love Vegas, but I mostly go to babysit my mom. When we went in January, it was to celebrate the end of her chemo/radiation, and I worry as she's not as strong as she used to be. If anything were to happen, I'd prefer it not happen to her while alone, in a city she's unfamiliar with. She's fully independent, and still quite capable, but I worry about her and feel better if I can chaperone. (This is also how I justify going on a trip that I really can't afford.) My issue this time is that without my sister there, nobody will be babysitting me...

At any rate, it should be fun if I can stay out of trouble!

I rewarded myself with the savings. From around $12 a day smoking to $1 vaping. I bought an 06 Jag XJ8 a couple of weeks ago after saving for over a year. Always wanted one. Gas guzzling happiness!!

 

[jello215]

Haven't been rewarding myself as of yet. Think I will at 1 yr with a AlienWare laptop...always wanted one. Guess it is one of those geek things.

 

[Morandir835]

Jello sir alienware ain't what it used to be sadly... Sure you want to go that route?

 

[EleanorR]

A belated thank-you to those who congrat'ed me!

And oh darn it, I just placed another order . . . in honor of our war dead, of course. (Sigh. )
