I just wanted to share with all of you something that was suggested to me to help get through the cravings and some rough spots. I have a fish bowl at work and at home. In it I put pieces of paper with suggestions on things to do to get past those tough times. Simple things for work like clean out junk from my desk, take a 10 min walk break, Take deep breaths while counting backwards, Wipe down my desk. At home I put in things that last longer to get past the boredom, take a walk, Clean my daughters room (that'll keep me busy for a year), clean the fridge etc.... Most of the papers have things to get me past the craving. Any time I have a strong urge I pick out a piece of paper and do what it says. By the time I'm done the urge is gone. I just thought this might help out for some. It's helped keep my Cuban temper in check and the tears to a minimum. My co-workers and daughter helped me fill the fish bowl with lots of ideas. Best wishes!!
