4 1/2 months smoke-free after 20 years...
The first week is the actual nicotine withdrawal; the rest is behavioral. I don't know which is harder to deal with, but I discovered that once the nicotine is out of your system, it really is all in your head.
Short-term craving trick: Glass of water, as cold as you can stand it. Kills that monkey deader than dirt.
Good luck!
