Thank you for the definition of AVRT, I guess maybe I can say that I did that with quitting drinking alcohol, when I got cravings or thoughts I actually recognized it and dissect those feelings and worked through them....Carlotta, with both addiction I just thought about my health, which I never cared about all those years I drank and chain smoked but it's a fact are choices will catch up to us. You know how free it feels from the chains of drinking when you quit smoking it feels just as great maybe even better! Just like when you quit drinking its work but just say to yourself it is for your own good and you want to feel better...Make up a daily affirmations, I love affirmation
Use a journal, I'm a big journal person the last 2 years instead of wanting to smoke if your stress or whatever else your feeling pull out your journal and write. I even use color pens for fun and also used it to express my moods I'm feeling...Lol....You can do it girlie
