Pony, I've been thinking about distractions myself. I'm almost tempted to come up with a list to keep with me at all times just so I will have someplace to go and just do something else from the list. I did this when I quit smoking a few years ago - I just created lists of things I would do in several situations - at home in the morning, at home in the evening, at work, in the car, etc. It really did help to have someplace concrete to go and then something concrete to do, rather than just wander around and ache.
I do know that I'm an absolute toddler sometimes, don't like to be told NO and a distraction technique works better than just trying to gut something out on "willpower" alone. I will try to work on a "go to" list. Thanks for the reminder.
Peace.
