Riding Out Cravings with RAIN

Do you struggle with cravings you just can't control?

The key to overcoming them isn't willpower -- it's recognizing and embracing them using a tool called RAIN.

RAIN stands for:

R = recognize
A = accept
I = investigate
N = noting

Stop fighting your cravings or running away from them. Learn to embrace them, and they will lose their power over you.

Thanks Dr. Jud for your great contribution. I have a question: I know that awareness & curiosity is of great help to overcome the craving-addiction cycle, however what if compelling thoughts come in? Isn't goal setting & motivation also a big part to deliberately decide to confront oneself with these uncomfortable feelings? If one doesn't see it's worth it, most people won't face the discomfort, since they see no point in doing so.

You said "ride the craving to shore" & in cases when that just won't come, what do u advise then? Opiate addiction is a lot different than being "addicted" to food.
