How to use CraveShield
A craving peaks and passes in minutes. These seven tools are built for exactly those minutes — one tap away, no setup, and ready before you need them.
When the urge hits, one tap is all it takes.
The second a craving spikes, open CraveShield and press the red button. It takes you straight to a calm screen — “This wave will pass” — with every tool one tap away. This part is free, forever.
Slow your body down in under a minute.
A guided pace — in for 4, hold for 7, out for 8 — that pulls your nervous system out of fight-or-flight. Follow the orb; the long exhale does the work.
Come back into the room you’re actually in.
This walks you through your senses — five things you can see, four you can hear, three you can touch — anchoring you in the present, where the urge loses its grip.
You don’t fight the wave — you outlast it.
A craving isn’t a straight line up. It builds, crests, and falls, almost always within a few minutes. Watch it rise and fall instead of white-knuckling through it.
Five short truths that outlast any craving.
In the moment, your brain tells a convincing lie. Reframe answers back with short, grounding lines — buying you the ninety seconds the urge needs to break on its own.
Reach the right person in one tap.
Set up your trusted contact ahead of time — a friend, a sponsor, or a helpline. When you’re on the edge, one tap reaches them. You decide before you ever need it.
Watch what you’re winning back.
Every day you don’t give in, CraveShield adds it up — the money saved, the days you’ve strung together, and the health milestones passing in the background. Proof the effort is paying off.
A slip is not the end of your streak in any way that matters. It’s one moment, not a verdict on whether you can do this — and the people who get through this are not the ones who never slipped. They’re the ones who came back faster each time.
Open the app and start again the same day. Don’t wait for Monday, or the first of the month, or a version of yourself that feels more ready. The next craving is the only one you have to get through, and you already know what to do with it.
