What I did to distract myself this time was have a couple of sugary drinks, eat dinner and read a couple of stories to my youngest son. I also concentrated on taking deep breaths trying to chill.
I find when I am in the middle of a craving my head pounds, neck gets stiff and I feel a bit breathless.
I'm thinking jigsaws and knitting could be other mindless, gentle tasks that would require just enough concentration to get me through.
Best wishes
