Q is for Quell. What do I do to quell the cravings? Pause and say a prayer. You can't wear out the Serenity Prayer. I was told you can't crave unless you take a taste. It is generally our obsession that overtakes our thinking and our mind can't think of anything else. If you want to quit, pray for the willingness to be willing to quit. Quell the voice of your addiction, by reaching out and asking for help.
