Give in, dude. Or try eating a bunch of berries or grapes. They taste delicious and you feel sinful while eating them ;-)
A couple of things I've heard in meetings might help:
"Move a muscle, change a thought". And this was from a guy I don't even normally like that well. But it's true, as you know, even some mild-to-moderate exercise can make you feel better.
Regarding taking it one day at a time, that never coalesced in my mind until I was facing a really bad craving one night after a stressful day at work. I told myself that, IF IT REALLY WAS impossible to restrain my body from going to a liquor store, I would at least wait one more night and do it in the morning. I might relapse but I would at least wait ONE MORE day. I didn't have to make it forever, just one night, then we'll see. Thinking about it that way took the pressure off. And of course I felt totally different the next morning.
I predict you'll be fine now that you've posted about it.
