Saw your 'goodbye' on the substance forum, so looked you up. Glad you're still talking with us. I thing some of the advice there was spot on. If you give up something addictive, you need to fill the void in your life with some other activity (hopefully something non-harmful).

It may sound silly right now, but have you tried just going outside and taking a walk? They say excercise helps with endorphins, that stuff inside us that makes us feel good. Or just eat a good meal, watch a movie. Something, ANYTHING, to make you forget the craving.

Hope today finds you in better spirits.
