Most of the patches you can cut with scissors to get a smaller dose or stretch them to make them last longer.
Using an ink pen with the guts removed to "puff" on can help with the oral fixation. Or toothpicks work for some people.
If you can avoid nicotine as long as possible after you wake up - it makes things easier in my opinion. See how long you can go without vaping or using a patch after you wake up.
That said I'm also back on my smoking bullshit so, good luck, hope it helps you more than it helped me.
edit: I also just found out my medicaid covers gum/patches if that's an option for you. Gonna make another attempt soon as well.
Good luck to you too! That's the route I went, my medicaid covers nrt so I ordered the patch. The gum didn't help much last time, plus I don't really like gum to begin with.
