Mr Lucky.
Unfortunately there isn't a magic pill to quit smoking that takes away all the cravings and withdrawals. Many have used the patch, zyban, welleburtin and other methods. I know what you mean about several failed quit attempts. All of us have them. There are very few smokers that simply give it up and walk away the first time out.
The longest I ever made it before this quit was a few hours. That was even with Zyban once. This time I quit cold turkey. It was hell! But I refused to give up and each day got easier to get through. Now I am proud to say that I don't Smoke.
My point is, that perhaps it isn't the method you use to quit but the attitude and the determination to succeed that you take with you into the quit that makes it successful. Don't agonize over the quit. Doing it is half the battle. Realize that you are an addict needing a fix, going through withdrawal. The only way to make it through the process is to actually go through it.
Remember that anything you go through, no matter how bad it may seem, is only temporary. Trust me, I did my share of yelling, screaming, crying, kicking, punching pillows, leaning on others for support, and a lot of other things to get through the quit. You go through it and if you refuse to give up the good fight, you come out on the other side a victor. Don't give up.
