Nicotine patch - worse than smoking?

Has anyone managed to quit using the patches? I have been using them for a couple of weeks, and they are fantastic: hardly any cravings and feeling really good.

But... If I go without, forget it, or manage to sweat the damn thing away the smoking gremlins are back and with them the most chronic attitude problem. That is not like me and I really don't like it.

Is it purely a psychological thing or should I seriously be considering binning the patches and just going cold turkey? someone suggested hypnotherapy but I'm not convinced.

I'm now feeling more addicted than I ever felt when smoking can anyone suggest a way to quit the patches, the cigarettes and be a normal and social human being?
