When you are trying to quit a bad habit, it is key to stay positive. Focus more on how much better you feel then you much you miss the substance that you are quitting.
Most likely your body feels a ton better. Focus on that.
Any time thoughts come up about how much you miss the substance, take a nap, sit out in the sun, eat a fun snack. You might only Think you are craving the substance, but really you are just hungry or tired.
Reward yourself for little victories. As children we got candy for doing chores etc. Give yourself candy for every 3 hours of victory in staying away from the substance. :)
Mostly you have to shift in your thinking about how you perceive yourself. You have to realize you are stronger then you thought you were before. You DO have the strength to resist it.
You need to see the truth, that do not Need that substance to have peace or joy. You can have joy without it.
You need to see the truth that your life is better without that substance. And that truth will set you free. :)
