I am sure the timeline is different for everyone.
I don't know when "recovered" starts exactly. I did have cravings for at least two years. Granted they were few and far between, and not as intense as the a week after I stopped. They were cute and laughable. I actually did chuckle when I had them. But there's a dark side to the chuckle. I don't know what would have happened if I lit up a cigarette. I don't think it would have ended very well.
