That sounds great...You really did the visual images with a great deal of poise and intent...I am glad that it has helped you...I do a lot of that myself and find it does work...This is a powerful enemy, but it is no stronger that our own minds...
One thing I have found useful is to have a stop watch with me...When the crave begins, I press the button, go into diversion mode and wait until it ends...I find that if you do not have the watch, the cravings "seem" to go on and on...In reality, they are generally only a few minutes in duration...
If you speak with anyone who does interrogation of prisoners, they will tell you that "who ever controls time, controls the mind"...Leaving a prisoner in an anxious situation without the benefit of knowing how much time has passed enhances the anxiety and reduces the resolve...
Good going on beating that crave...you are really making a go of this thing...keep walking forward...
