KIR- this is a link I've posted before from Anna with a lot of good info on cravings. It is in my list of subscribed threads.

Two things that helped me was to have a list of ready to go distractions such as going for a walk or calling someone to talk about anything else until the craving passes (and it will). Whatever works for you. Another thing that has helped me was urge surfing where you look inside of yourself and what you are feeling during the craving until it passes.

A cup of green tea has a calming effect and helps me.

Hope you got through it.
