@Hockeymom7727 Welcome to the Ex and congrats on day 13. Glad you posted so we can get to know you and lend support. Since the nicotine is slowly released from the patch you should be fine. You're slowly weaning off the patch, not stopping it abruptly.
Have you read material on the site about quitting? Understand how nicotine addiction works and having plan in place to deal with craving, has made quitting smoking possible for many. This link is a good place to start.

If you do notice a difference with the reduced patch, you'll be prepared. Walking is great when we quit and so are deep breathing exercises.
No fears. You're committed and have proven you can do it with 13 days smoke free.
Stay busy and stay close.
We're here if you need us.
