Just keep trying, even if you screw up a few times. I tried the patch for a while on and off, but it never worked out for me.
I finally managed to get into a cycle where I would quit cold turkey for a month or two, screw up for a week or so, quit again, etc. Some of my co-workers gave me a hard time about it, but I always figured I was better off for the time when I wasn't smoking, even if I got an urge and went back for a while.
Eventually, I just got sick of quitting all the time. Just keep at it and don't be too hard on yourself if you slip up.
I've had two smokes this year, and I don't really get the urge anymore. It might take a while, but it's worth it when you finally get it right.
