Anyone got any tips on how to deal with cravings?
I was wondering if any forum members have got any tips on how to deal with craving?
In Eight Mindful Steps to Happiness Bhante Gunaratana suggests that say for example your having thoughts about a cake, imagine it as a pile of rotting mould. My problem is that due to strong psychiatric medication I can't visualise anything anymore (I used to be quite good at this, its a technique used in western occult practices). I've also got stunted emotional responses due to having certain parts of my brain chemistry shut down by the medication so even if I visualise the rotting cake I don't get the emotional responses an unmedicated person would.
If anyone has any techniques they have that may be of some use to me I would appreciate them.
