Found this on Pinterest, something similar for quit smoking would seem logical...

 

I like this! I use several already, just in day to day, and never thought about it as cope methods, but that makes sense.

Coping is great until it removed responsibility for the action. Little rewards or redirection tactics. But when they aren't there the action needs to be acceptable still. Kids just need a smack on ass occasionally too. "Cope with that you...."

 

Same with adults. Too much feel good hugs and unicorns with rainbows makes us soft and .....

 

Dare I say not responsible. It's not our fault, I ran out of gum, my job sucks, wife is a ...., car broke down. Like a real life country song.

 

Like the idea as long as the end result is we control situation when reward is not present

If anyone does do this...

 

Dalmation or Brown Jasper are excellent Crystals for quitting smoking. Amethyst is healing/calming, Citrine is brilliant at redirecting bad energy back to source and lightening the load.

 

Vanilla is a scent that lifts mood. Lavender is really good as a relaxant. 

I feel like I am back in the 60's or 70's. What crystal gets you laid.....diamonds of course.

I use tools daily.....it's what is learned in many support groups.  In the past.....my toolbox only had cigarettes, a lighter, some food, alcohol, sleep...and even self pity at one point..gone are those days.

 

Learn to use good tools and fill your toolbox with them, so that when it's time...you know how to use them and do so automatically.

 

Great post Colleen..and great tips Marti!!

Everybody loves a diamond Bakon!!

 

 In answer to your dilemma, diamond and call the female beautiful...I don't want to say we are all fickle, but yeah, this should have a fairly good success rate.  

 

PS Dear clever ladies, sorry about above comments and of course we need more feminism and stuff, as long as someone still holds the door for me right, cause it's a bit rude not too ;)

Bought sapphire and diamonds bracelet today. She said thanks. How do I get her to do the other part?

 

I shower daily, do everything she asks, always hold door and take her to dinner everyday since March (she cant smell good now so no big desire to eat/cook). Think those panties are sewn on as I cant get them down. I even tried a sexy dance in my underwear...didn't go over as planned.

 

If she had a stress ball it would probably be thrown at my head, blanket makes her nap, MP3 or book to ignore me in the room, healing stones.....same as the ball

Maybe your diamond is too small??  Quite frankly, after the underwear dance I'm not sure how she contained herself!! It's not you, it's her lol. 

Women are complicated my friend and you will spend your life trying to figure them out like i am!

And the doctor obvious award goes to the guy driving by.

 

But thanks for trying to help. My wife has a great sense of humor and we are fine. I "attempt to get lucky" daily so she knows I still find her atractive when she has same hair doo as uncle fester. Gifts are so she feels special still. Dinner is cause I am hungry and she really can't taste anything.

If anyone reads anything about my mrs without smiling then they missed the boat or joke.

Ooops! Crap! Open mouth and insert foot!

 

I got on the boat but fell off!

 

Need to spend more time here i guess!

You are fine, but we are off track on the tools now. Where does the wrench go?
