No time like the present to begin again! And I agree with @catlover that the reward possibilities are endless. A visit to a nice museum or aquarium… some new art supplies… watching a favorite movie… getting a fresh haircut… Reward yourself often to celebrate your milestones! As you are quitting it also might be helpful to be temporarily a little lenient with yourself on dietary restrictions. It’s great to be healthy. At the same time, it’s important to not feel 100% deprived. Also your blood sugar might go a bit low and you may crave unusual things. It normalizes. Keep us posted! -

Yes, coloring sounds great, and keeps hands busy, that’s a win. i gave myself small treats often, after all, I wasn’t spending £1O a day on cigarettes, so it mounted up quickly. At the end of my first month, I bought myself a Fitbit, as I was walking more. Exercise is great, getting out in the fresh air and going for long walks. Art materials, new clothes, books, or finding a new hobby to engage in. Good for you eating healthier. I have done the same, since April 1st this yr, cut out a lot of rubbish from my diet, UPF crap mainly, feeling loads better and lost weight too … -

@catlover I see your point and you are right it could. I have to find out what kinda treat to get myself after the first 24 hours. I cut out sugary ultra processed junk food and soda about a week ago when I quit drinking and weed again. I'm very low maintenance lol. Not into gadgets or toys. Maybe something simple like coloring or something. I used to be a very good artist. Maybe go back into that. -

Quitting for someone else, can make you resentful. Quit for you, and to make your life better. Give it a go, and reward yourself, with lots of treats -

@Doreensfree I just started the gum. I am really going to do this. I promised someone long ago and I have to deliver on that finally -
