things I try to do when i'm having an urge:
I'll have a pop and some chocolate
-STOP and breathe
-call a friend
-go to a resturant and just be around people and eat alone
-Write, write write write
-do anything to try to get out of myself ( ask others questijons about theirselves and listen to the answers, be busy for a while cleaning or throwing away material stuff in my life--this kind've symbolized taking inventory, Help or do something kind for someone)
-Meditate, walk, pray
-listen to music or a self help tape
-take a hot bath or shower
thanks for helping me stay conscious of my plan to deal with urges if one strikes me today
