Emergency Support When Cravings Hit
One tap for immediate, personalized help. Aida knows you, distraction activities break the pattern, and your own messages remind you why you're quitting.
How It Works
Cravings don't wait for convenient moments. When they hit, you need immediate, effective intervention - not generic motivational quotes. The Craving SOS delivers personalized, multi-layered support designed to interrupt the craving cycle and give you time to let it pass.
The moment you press the button, Aida responds with a personalized message based on your history, current triggers, and what's worked for you before. She knows you're in crisis and tailors her support to your exact situation - whether it's day 3 or day 93 of being vape-free.
But Aida is just the start. The Craving SOS immediately offers distraction activities randomly selected each time - puzzles, games, interesting articles, creative challenges. These aren't busywork; they're neurologically designed to interrupt the dopamine-seeking pattern your brain is stuck in.
Need immediate physical intervention? Quick-access breathing exercises help calm your nervous system in 60 seconds. Physical exercise prompts get you moving - push-ups, jumping jacks, a quick walk - whatever breaks the mental loop you're trapped in. Remember: most cravings pass in 3-5 minutes if you don't give in.
The most powerful feature? Your personal motivation vault. Before a crisis hits, you'll have recorded messages to yourself, written notes about why you're quitting, and photos that remind you what you're fighting for - your health, your savings, your freedom from addiction. In moments of weakness, these are the voices that pull you back.

Why This Matters
Ride Out the Wave
Research shows most nicotine cravings last only 3-5 minutes. The Craving SOS fills that window with interventions that help you ride out the wave without giving in.
Personalized to You
Unlike generic apps, Aida knows your triggers, your history, and what works for you specifically. Every intervention is tailored to your unique situation and quit stage.
Multiple Intervention Layers
If one technique doesn't work, you have five more immediately available. Breathing, distraction, physical activity, personal messages, and direct AI support - all accessible instantly.
Your Own Voice When You Need It
The messages you record to yourself when you're strong become the lifeline you grab when you're weak. Nothing is more powerful than hearing your own reasons for quitting.
Why the Craving SOS Works for Quitting Vaping
The critical moment when quitting vaping isn't buying a vape - it's the 3-5 minutes before, when you have an intense craving but haven't acted yet. This is your window of opportunity. The Craving SOS is designed specifically for this window.
Generic quit smoking apps just track your days. They don't help you manage the psychological and physical state that leads to relapse. AntiVape's Craving SOS addresses the root cause - the craving itself - with evidence-based interventions that shift your mental and physical state.
The combination of AI-personalized support, distraction activities, breathing exercises, physical interventions, and your own pre-recorded motivations creates a comprehensive crisis response system. It's like having a quit coach, accountability partner, and your best self all available instantly.
Whether you're on day one or day one hundred, the Craving SOS gives you concrete tools for the hardest moments. Combined with AntiVape's tracking and AI features, you'll not only manage cravings better but also understand your patterns and prevent them proactively.
What Happens When You Press It
A step-by-step walkthrough of how the Craving SOS helps you through an intense craving.
Immediate Response
The moment you tap, Aida sends a personalized message acknowledging your struggle and reminding you of your progress. You're not alone - and this craving WILL pass.
Quick Options Menu
Choose your intervention: Breathing (60 seconds), Distraction (5-10 min), Physical (2-5 min), Your Messages (instant), or Talk to Aida (chat).
Intervention Delivery
If you choose distraction, you get a random puzzle or article. Physical? Push-up challenge or quick walk. Your messages? Your own voice or photos reminding you why you're quitting.
Follow-Up
After the intervention, Aida checks in. "How are you feeling?" The craving has likely passed. If not, she offers another intervention or suggests contacting your accountability partner.
Distraction Activities
Brain Puzzles
Sudoku, word searches, logic puzzles - activities that engage your prefrontal cortex and interrupt the dopamine-seeking loop that's driving your craving.
Simple Games
Quick, engaging mini-games that require focus and provide healthy dopamine hits through achievement, not nicotine.
Interesting Articles
Curated content about health benefits of quitting, personal growth, science, and inspiring quit stories. Shift your mind to something meaningful.
Creative Prompts
Journal prompts, drawing challenges, writing exercises - redirect that restless energy into creative expression instead of reaching for a vape.
Learn Something New
Quick learning modules on topics that interest you. Turn a moment of weakness into a moment of growth.
Goal Visualization
Guided exercises to visualize your future self - healthier lungs, more money, freedom from addiction. Reconnect with your "why."
Your Personal Motivation Vault
The most powerful intervention isn't from Aida or any distraction - it's from you. Your own voice, when you were strong, speaking to you when you're weak.
Record Audio Messages
On a good day, record a message to yourself. Explain why you're quitting. How much better you feel already. What you'll lose if you relapse. What you're gaining by staying vape-free. In a crisis, hearing your own voice is incredibly powerful.
Write Crisis Notes
Short, direct messages you write to yourself: "Remember how bad that cough was." "You've already saved £200." "You can breathe better now - don't throw that away." "This craving will pass in 3 minutes." Simple truths that cut through the fog of a craving.
Upload Photos That Matter
Your savings goal. A screenshot of your health improvements. Your kids or partner. A photo of yourself looking healthy. Visual anchors that reconnect you to reality when the craving is trying to convince you "just one hit" won't matter.
Pro Tips
- Record messages on your best days, not your worst
- Be honest and direct - speak to the craving, not around it
- Update your vault regularly as your reasons evolve
- Include both what you're escaping (cough, cost) and gaining (health, freedom)
- Screenshots of your money saved are powerful motivators
- Record different messages for different times of day
- Keep some messages short (30 seconds or less)
- Review and refresh your vault monthly
Remember: Cravings Always Pass
The science is clear: Nicotine cravings peak in intensity within the first 3 minutes, then rapidly decline. By 5 minutes, most cravings have reduced significantly. By 10-15 minutes, they've usually passed completely.
The Craving SOS is designed to get you through those critical minutes. Every tool - breathing, distraction, physical activity, your personal messages - is designed to fill that window until the craving wave passes.
Every craving you ride out makes the next one weaker. Your brain is literally rewiring itself each time you don't give in. The Craving SOS helps you win each battle, and winning battles wins the war.
