, Lianne wrote asking about cravings, so here is my 2c4u.

I have found that the worst part about cravings is _now_;  ie I mean in the
present, today.

When I am trying to give up something that I am addicted to (eg cigarrettes,
cheese on toast,...u name it) and I'm 'ready' then I remind myself that
today is the worst day for cravings.  If I get thru today, tomorrow will be
easier.
This is not make-believe, its how it works.
Each day is the hardest you have to face.  But each hard day is easier than
the previous one was.

There is a whole lot more explanation that I could do, but if you are
serious about it, keep reminding yourself of things like "I only have to
survive today", "only x hours till I go to sleep" etc.

If you try it, let me know how you get on.

Oh, one more thing: once you've succeeded the first day you know you can
beat it, because that was the worst day - the rest is easier.

Also, if you succumb at any point, its much harder to start again.  But you
can also say "Just today, I'm just giving up today.  Tomorrow I can have
some if I want. "  and look forward a bit to having some tomorrow.  When
tomorrow becomes today, nothing changes !!!

Have fun :>)
