Members, JDK is correct. More specifically, nicotine releases... Acetylcholine in your cholinergic pathways which induces the physical effects of smoking such as increased BP, heart rate... Dopamine in your reward pathways which induces feelings of pleasure in addition to the release of endorphins which also lift your mood And lastly, glutamate which plays a role in learning & memory.

I think you're right, JDK. Seratonin. Don't forget new pillows, new sheets, new bed, and new car! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]7/17/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 540 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 40,500 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $10,125.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 48 [B]Hrs:[/B] 5 [B]Mins:[/B] 57 [B]Seconds:[/B] 55

Lainey, Just a misguided attempt at humor. ;) And Josie, thanks for posting this. I still need to get better at rewarding myself. Today is a big day for me and I am rewarding myself by doing exactly what I want to and not a thing more. Or less.

Chocolate covered peanuts! They work! :) It doesn't have to be a reward all day long, but here & there, especially when you have made it thru a tough moment etc!

If I rewarded myself after every situation/trigger that I made it through without smoking I would have have to find a reward that lasted most of the day. ;) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]11/19/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 50 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 750 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $168.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 8 [B]Hrs:[/B] 2 [B]Mins:[/B] 33 [B]Seconds:[/B] 26

And special people get rewards. We are special people. Breaking an addiction is hard and deserves rewards. We use every thing to do something healthy for ourselves. example. Today is Elvis's birthday and I am going to celebrate it listening to his songs smoke free.

Good post Josie! Theres a scientific reason too. Something to do with your brain releasing a certain chemical when you get a reward. Something that your brain used to do when you smoked that cigarette.
