How can I wean off vicodin

I was clean for 5 months after years on and off vicodin It seems every time i try to stop the withdrawals are worse.
I have too much going on right now to lay in bed and who wants to feel withdrawals? I was taking Vicodin es for about a month now about 6 a day sometimes more. Then i didn't have access to them for a day or two and started taking 10 mg valium. then I continued to take the valium with the vicodin to help me sleep when I took too much vicodin sometimes 2-3 a day.I feel so depressed, I hate myself for starting to take them again. My life was finally getting more organized, and it was great to not be a slave to the drugs.Thank you for taking the time to listen , any sugestions will be apprieciated

Thank you for your support, just knowing someone cares helps, even if I don't know you.
So far I have a half of day clean. ( I hope that counts lol)

of course half a day counts!!! are you planning on making it a whole day?? when you look back tonight, will you be able to say you are a whole day clean now? I hope so. Take it one day at a time, one hour at a time when needed! hang in there!!!
