Be around people who are clean and sober who can get your mind off of it. Ultimately though, it comes down to your will power when it's just you and that drug. My best friend of 11 years is battling a drug addiction. The only time she went sober was for probation and she went clean for a whole year, until she broke down and she just got worse then ever before. You know what her druggie friends said? They were soo dissapointed in her. They saw her get clean and go back. They didn't think it was possible to live clean and then they saw her do it and were inspired, and when she got dirty again they were so dissapointed. Just think about how far you have come and what a waste it would be to go backwards now. Believe in yourself, cause I'm sure the people you're able to tell your story to will feel inspired by yours when you get through it. Let people be inspired, not dissapointed.

The best thing you can do is replace those cravings with something positive. Sports, a musical instrument, Dancing, Running and other kinds of exercise.
Also you should have a friend to call when the cravings get too intense. There are groups that provide that kind of support call AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) they can put you in touch with the right group.
One day at a time!

This is one of the toughest things you will ever have to do.
It is why AA talks about one day at a time. Once an addict ,always an addict.
Congratulations on six months, clean. I have been clean about 7 years and still WANT A JOINT!!!!!!!
Make a FIRM decision that you want to be clean and live by that decision each moment of each day.
You have proved that you CAN do it , now just do it again minute by minute. You have proven that you are stronger than the urges, remember this, dwell on this, "I am stronger, I do not need".
Remember YOU have decided that this is something you do not want.
God Speed

Yeah, and before you get help, remember why you quit in the first place.
See the movie Trainspotting- I never did, but all I needed to hear about was the baby that died b/c the parents and friends were high for a week and forgot all about it.
Then they got really upset,
when they found the stinking carcass of a beautiful life,
BUT DID A HIT RIGHT AWAY
to "feel better".
Not a path you want to go down, hunh?
Just the misery of it all.
Then go make that phone call.

find a new outlet to escape reality write a book or something thats what im doing keep yourself occupied and just keep thinking how pointless drugs are because better things come to you in life when your mind is clean of all impurities.youll think clearer and better thoughts just stay away from them for awhile longer and writing in a journal until they go away then put yourself right in front of them and reject them like i did and go on with your life.

One poster recommended picking up a musical instrument. Uh, take it from a long time musician... that might just make you want drugs even more.
I wish you the best
