I know from my own experience that the seed of desire is often planted in the fertile soil of the decision to get high. If you have subconsciously decided to get high, the craving will be unrelenting. Take that option off the table completely and let your addictive voice wear itself out.

As for fighting the cravings, think about this: The mightiest oak will break before the strongest wind, while the lowly reed bends but never breaks.

The more you fight, the more you engage the cravings.

Be the reed and ride out the storm.
