Cuddles... Shevie has given you a good outline here. I agree with pretty much all his time frames. Mine were slightly different but very close.
Around day 14.... I was ready to quit my job, leave work, and go have "Just One" cigarette. It took everything I had to stay at work.
Around day 30... was the worse for me. I was so depressed during this time. I even went to see a counselor a few times for some additional help. I spent several days in my office with my door shut crying while I worked and I would also blow up at coworkers. Fortunately, I too have a good boss who was very understanding and I still have a job as well.
Around day 90... a few days of heavy intense craving...wanted to give up but refused. It wasn't easy. I went back to my coping techniques of week one through three. And I talked to a lot of people from the site.
Around day 130... I had another period where I just really "wanted" to smoke. This only lasted an afternoon. This was my final bad craving. Since then I have had times when I have "thought" about smoking but they are just thoughts. I value the freedom of being smoke free.
The best way I got through any craves and bouts of depression was through the quit buddies I have made here at the SSC. They have saved my life. They have kicked me in the rear when I needed it, told me to get out of the pity pot, picked me up when I was low, given me lots of hugs, encouragement and Love. I never would have made it without them.
Quitting never killed anyone but you might just be suprised at what you can live through :). You can do it Cuddles. We are here to help.
