moish, you said that your whole life is “one bored waste of time”. Well such a situation gives rise to the problem you’re struggling with. I think SAS had good tactics but it seems like you feel your problem is too big for those ideas. But as many posters have said there is NO easy way. Try to limit your exposure to cookies and when you feel the problem starting use the methods mentioned- distraction, leave wherever you are, remind yourself how bad you’ll feel after…(maybe I am way off base and am thinking of the wrong issue, but I don’t think so)
areivim, may I know what ‘the book’ is?
