Is this good advice? 11 Jun 2010 19:43 #70188

Anonymous32456 Current streak: 1 day OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 11 Karma: 0	Is it good advice/ muttar to tell yourself that if I wait X amount of days, I can/ will be nichshal in hz"l? Basically is it smart to reward yourself with the thing you are trying to stop?

Reward yourself with soething better and more fullfilling. After the x days do it again. Have a great Shabbos! -Yiddle

In all seriousness, Anonymous actually might take that the wrong day. Guard didnt mean to say it today and then tomorrow act out. He meant worry about today and only about today. And when tomorrow comes you can say the line again: " I will not act out today even if my head falls off". (Though I still think thats a bit extreme, even for you Dov ???).

By the way did anyone get my drawing above???
