Do you use urge surfing, Angie? There's a whole thread, several probably, on using this technique. It really works well. I'm on my phone or I would post a link.
Sometimes if the urges are strong and frequent, it can be because you are afraid of them or squelching them. Instead of pushing them down, you can let yourself feel them fully, and see them exactly for what they are - just thoughts, nothing more. They don't mean you'll act on them.
They tend to lessen the more you deny them, the more times you say no.
It will get better. Don't give up now. You're doing great
First year is hardest (for lots of us anyway).
