I don't get REALLY bad cravings too often anymore but when I did this what I LEARNED and it really helped me. My cravings were SUCH a mental thing. I would have all these voices going crazy in my mind. It finally dawned on me that I could really only have 1 thought at a time. Right? So, I would close my eyes and start describing something to myself in my mind. Like a beach scene, how I would like to decorate my house, what kind of vacation I would like.... I did these descriptions in GREAT detail. Like describing a beach scene would mentally take me 15 minutes or so. I would describe colors, temperature, textures, wild life, foliage....etc... This would calm me down and bring my logical thinking back to the forefront. Keeping busy was also a help!
