tryagain,
First, I say this with the utmost respect - you are one tough broad! I've watched you grit your teeth and tough it through this quit time and time again. Honestly, I don't think I could have made it if it was hard for me as it has been for you. I admire your courage.
I quit cold turkey also, so I can't really comment on the NRT stuff but I can speak from my humble opinion. Don't go back to the gum or the patch or anything else. Give yourself a week without nicotine. You have made it this far, you've gotten help at work and have a bit more freedom there - consider this like a true fresh start.
Have you been rewarding yourself? It doesn't have to be things you buy but things you do for yourself. You have already made it 176 Days without smoking, you can do another 7 without nicotine and then you are FREE. Start walking tall in your NEW life. Stay close and let us know how it's going.
All the best
