You're doing, great JAnde!
Pat yourself on the back; you've made it past the hardest part. Now you need to be on guard against mental triggers; situations and emotions in which you used to smoke before. The good news about those is that you only need to refuse to reward the trigger with nicotine once to break its power over you. The hard part is recognizing the trigger for what it is. Physical cravings should be pretty much a thing of the past now so any craving you do experience is likely a mental trigger.
It really helped me to tell myself when I had a craving like that, "I used to smoke in this situation, but I'm chosing not to now".
