The Jitterbug - Leslie Stops Smoking Blog

Thursday November 3, 2005

From Leslie: "I used cigarettes as 'rewarders', I could sit down and relax with a stick after cleaning out the fridge (or behind it), I could have a few puffs if the phone rang during cleaning and 'have a break'. The entire reward system was created solely in my mind, and re-enforced on a near daily basis. No wonder this process had been so mentally difficult, I had made it that way."
