So i'm trying to stop and i have gone 5 days but the cravings are only getting worse. Every time i get a craving i go really physically weak and i don't know what to do about this because its not just that i feel mentally weak its that i can't... like grip or anything as well. I also get a really big urge to bite down on something even though i have never really used biting as a method :S I don't know how to stop this :/ Any ideas and is this normal? :S

ive had a similar problem. im trying to stop too and yeah i find the cravings get worse everyday. i go physically weak when i get cravings too, i undertsand how hard it is. i get an urge to bite too, sometimes i end up biting my myself without realising because of how intense the cravings get. i dont know how to stop this either. on sunday i was talking to my friend and somehow she made me realize some things. i think that what has been helping me is that i have found reason to stop, at least i think i have. i know that you will get through this, i know things are hard but i also know in the end things will be better. you just need to stay strong and its good youve gone 5 days, i hope you keep it up. im not too sure exactly what you can do to stop whats happening, everyones different, but i do know that you need to find something to help you stop, try to find a reason. PM if you want to talk. i know this is hard but im sure you can get through this, i know everyone can if they try. ive slipped up a few times, but im still trying my hardest to stop. no matter what happens, never give up hope of quitting. we're all here for support.

i used to have this problem. chew gum it helps, or eat somehting like choclate, don't bite yoruself, i used to bite my pillow, stuffed animal, anything. try anything and eveytign possible to distract. you must keep it up, otherwise you'll just fall back into the cycle again. good luck PM me if you want or if it doesn't work.

I did it last night and worse than ever :/ And then this morning i felt like i HAD to do it to get through the day :/ But i just have to pick myself up and start again and keep trying because i'm only going to get worse if i don't make some effort to get better :)
