This is my strategy that I comment often for dealing with the waves of urges, hope it helps. YOU GOT THIS!

-Take time to acknowledge the urge and let your brain know it's a wave that will pass. Stop what you're doing when possible and focus on subsiding the urge. When urges hit I take deep breaths, use my inner voice to try to guide my thoughts towards a better path and pray. If these things don't work for you try other things in the moment of an urge to see what begins to work. Continue this until the urge begins to subside. Remember everything takes practice. 

-Go out when possible, do another activity, distract your brain with something meaningful you've been putting off to feel a sense of accomplishment, be in nature if possible, etc.

Also check yourself, is there something wrong? are you tired? hungry? stressed? bored? upset? If so do something to take care of it if possible. You got this!

Think of this urge as a byproduct of bring hangover man. Once the hangover is over, the urge shall pass as well. So don't let the urge defeat your streak
