Honestly I would try to tough it out without the patch. You'll be a lot further along in 3 days going cold turkey than you will after 3 months trying to ween yourself off with the patches.

Anyhow whatever you choose seek God in it. Also here are a few links from a site that I personally think is an awesome stop smoking resource
