sharing - heard on another podcast about making relapse commitments, so if you relapse you do something you dont want to do. so you are avoiding tthe relapse but also avoiding the "punishment". decided to give £50 ($75) each time i relapse to homeless people / charitable cause. now its a lot of cash for me, and i really dont want to do it. but i see it as another way to up my own self accountability really need to keep it active in the brain, so it acts as another barrier to relapsing
That's a good idea. Once heard a professional counselor made a little adjustment on that: donate the money to an organization you really Dislike............ equals more motivation to behave.

Stop doing that! Negative reinforcements don't work, this has been proven time and again by modern psychology This is a medieval practice. What works is positive reinforcement. Donate your money AS A REWARD. When you reach a certain goal. And only do it if it actually makes you feel good. Seriously, stop doing negative reinforcement, it leads to psychosis and OCD, it's like cutting yourself
thanks for this, i was thinking similar but not in the light of negative re-inforcement agreed it doesnt make sense, as i relapse i will be down, so no point making my mindset worse will work towards positive - hit 10 days and do something / gift something
I tried something similar. I'm a bald guy and when I grow my hair I look pretty silly with patches of no hair if I don't shave it off. So I did this thing where I was not going to cut my hair until day 90 atleast. But it didn't last. I went close to 30 days but it just got to a point where I was suffering. Was embarrased to ever take my hat off, I looked like a bum. I ended up relapsing and thab cut the hair and said never again.
