“Urges and desires are physiologic. They will try and get the best of you because they are wired for reactivity; they are wired to get you to respond and get what you need. But there may be things that you're doing in the day-to-day life that is setting you up for greater cravings. So take a survey of your lifestyle, give yourself kindness and compassion, and remind yourself that these things and feelings are natural.”
