Hi Jt
I had great results with a thing called urge surfing.

I hope the link is self explanatory.
Like any skill it may take a little time to master but it really worked for me.
It stopped cravings from being a unshakeable obsessional urge to use.
I found that cravings really did pass on their own, without me having to scratch that itch.
