Scared of detoxing again

I relapsed on opiates in April after being 57 days clean. I have so much anxiety to start the detox process again tomorrow. I received excellent support from this community my last go around. I am really scared, I have now been taking 10 loritab 10's daily. My dosage has doubled since the last time I quit. I have told my family and have been working with a friend who is a addiction specialist. Any words of advice would be so nice to hear at this scary time.

Hey Do Not pack your bags and go on a quilt trip..That is what the evil guy wants you to do..Just take it had a big learning experience and move on..Most of us have done this over and over for years until we finally take Bigger Steps and have Great Support to keep it up..It can happen to any of us at any given moment if we do not keep that Armour on at all times..Be good to your self and just put your chin up high with one foot in front of the other..OK?

Thank you so much, I do feel so guilty for getting myself into this situation again. These pills are robbing me of my life. They give me false energy, I have no interest in life anymore. I was so happy before them. I think I need them for my pain, but they make my pain worse. I am spending so much money on them. I have been unable to wean. I have one pill left, then it will be cold turkey tomorrow!! Yikes!!

Yes!!! Just get back in the Saddle and Ride..Just make sure you take a whole different Trail this time so you do not make the same mistake and fall in that ditch you did not see..Ha!!  Just look back and stay away from anything that you know that caused ANY of those Triggers at any Given Moment. Time to pick yourself up and move on..I wish you the best and DO take a different path and set up bigger Boundaries too!

You survived it once and you can  and will survive it again. We all fall, the important thing is that we pick ourselves up and try again. Wd's don't last forever and your gonna be ok. Grab on to sobriety and hold as tight as u can. Protect it with every ounce of your strength. YOU are so very worth it. Don't beat yourself up over mistakes either. LEARN FROM THEM, forgive yourself and move forward!
