A single craving feels permanent while it is rising. It is usually a short wave: most peak and fade within about five to ten minutes whether you smoke or not. The work is getting through that window without handing your hands the old answer.
Whack-a-Craving gives those hands somewhere else to go for a few minutes. Grounding does the quieter version: it pulls attention back to the fact that you are here, in this moment, until the urge drops. When either one ends, you can mark how you feel and return to your day.
How This Helps
- Have something ready for the peak of an urge, so you are not inventing a plan while it is loudest.
- Occupy your hands or settle your attention long enough for the wave to pass.
- Notice how you feel afterward, which makes the next craving a little less mysterious.
Practical Tips
- Open a tool early, while the urge is still climbing. Waiting until it is already at full volume makes everything harder.
- You do not need a high score. Getting through the minutes is the point.
- If games feel wrong for the mood, use grounding instead. Same job, different texture.

Any craving spike, especially when logging alone is not enough to get you through the peak.
