What to do about cravings?

There is nothing easy when those cravings kick in, but you have to hold on to that it will pass, fight hard and say FU to that little voice in  your head trying to lure you back. It is not your true voice it is your addiction. I am Seven days clean so I no what you are talking about, but I really want to beat this thing, it has controlled me for way to long. Stay Strong

The cravings will pass, they always do. Don't over think them or they will consume you. Distract distract distract. If your mind goes back to cravings, distract again.

Kendra is right.Your mind will slowly give up on causing you distress.The longer you deprive it the less it will bother you.
