Going on the patch really helped me maintain my sanity when I quit. I was still an asshole, but nothing like the asshole I would have been otherwise. The patch really took the edge off of quitting. Just work your way down in patch size. Then only use them every other day. Before you know it, he won't want them at all. I didn't finish a whole box of patches, before deciding that I didn't need them anymore. I gave them to a friend who tried to quit a month later.

Of course, I was quitting no matter what. I had recieved such a wake up call that there was no way I wasn't going to quit. I would have just suffered through the with draw and bad moods.

Also, give him lots of space. When I'm pissy, the last thing I need is someone in my face, even if they're trying to be nice and helpful. It's nothing but an annoyance to me.
