All right, I don't think anyone thought this is a real offer.  But, use your imagination and pretend that it is.  Let's say that, if you could stay clean for the next 24 hours, you would receive $10,000 tax free, and if you could stay clean for a week, you'd get $100,000.  For a month?  $500,000.  For 90 days?  $1 million - tax free!  The only catch is that it's a one-time opportunity, which will never repeat itself.

So here's the question: What precautions would you take to make sure that you stay clean?  And, there's a follow-up question - can anyone figure out what it is?
Just as an alcoholic needs to avoid that first sip, a lust addict needs to avoid that first slip.Slip today? No way! ;)Fall today? No way, Jose'!

With such an incentive, i don't think i would have to take any more precautions!

Since, other than Willgetout, no one responded yet, I'll share my follow-up question.

Unlike Willgetout, my assumption is that some serious precautions would be in order, because the amount of money at stake would require me to succeed at all costs.  I simply could not risk failing.

My follow-up question is: If I would take serious precautions if big bucks were at stake, what is stopping me from taking the same precautions now?  I think this is a good question, even without considering the fact that, by comparison, the benefits of staying clean make these financial incentives seem more like 1 cent, 10 cents, 50 cents, and one dollar.

I think everyone was too busy writing their precaution lists ... oh yeah and figuring out how to spend all that cash .

I like the moshol!  ;D

(Lucky the million is tax-free, otherwise fugetaboutit)


And, there's a follow-up question - can anyone figure out what it is?
