Also, and that's where we differ (and kind of my point): setting up a new computer isn't a reward for me, it's a punishment.
But after the withdrawal symptoms receded, that was that. It was over. I can't even remember what it was that I liked about it.
Of course that's just me, and experiences differ. But quitting smoking is its own reward, and I don't mean physically or health-wise. You're free! You don't need to spend time thinking about where the nearest tobacco shop is and if you have enough change to buy more cigarettes to get through the night.
I would argue that if you need to reward yourself every year for quitting, you didn't actually quit. You stopped putting cigarettes in your mouth, but you're still a "smoker".
I was beginning to wonder if they'd ever subside. So it's good to know someone doesn't experience it. Though I have become used to them over the years and, in some situations, are not all bad.
