Hi Caravan,
Welcome! I don't have too much to add to what already has been said here, but like you I also smoked for over 30 years and read on this site for a while before finally taking the plunge and quitting.
I'm not too far ahead of you and still have my days from time to time, but they are getting further and further apart. Like everyone says, and it really is true, it does get better day by day, week by week.
This post made a ton of sense to me when I was around where you are: Craves episodes - your executive assistant at work
You're doing great! Keep reading and posting, and remembering to NTAP because One=All!
