Just comming off of vicodin

Hey im chris,
i was inrecovery for 2 years and was clean from everything for that long. I have recently relapsed and am having so much gilt and feeling so bad idk what to do. I started with just one and now its been like 6 a day for the past month. I am now tryign to tapper off of them. becasue i can not let my dad find out that i am doing this again it would kill him plus we can not afford rehab right now and neither can i. I am a 22 year old adult who works at a very stressful restraunt. Recently ive been haviing stomach pains im guessing because of stress due to the relaspe. I so need to get off of these things again, becuase my life is so much better without them. Its just the mental addiction is so strong, like i dont think i can do anything without these pills. I hate withdrawl. my question is ive been on these again for about 2 months and and about 6 a dya for the past 20 days. Do u guys think that i will go threw strong withdrawls and how long it will last. I also wanna know how long u think it will past, and any tips on how to get over this mental addiction. Thx in advanced
chris

You were clean for 2 Years and weren't on them for so long...be proud of yourself for stopping when you did slip....you may have some mental things going on, but for the most part, you should be ok...any physical symptoms will prob go away in a few days if you are experiencing any....

It's tough though because even taking 1 pill, as addicts, may cause us to think we're going to go through WD...so, stay stong, just fight it out...you'll be just fine!

Just find out what cause you to relapse and work on that....Aftercare!

30mg or so a day for 20 days will be a breeze.  You might have a bad night sleep and wake up and feel normal again.  I would say if you were sicker than that , that it might be anexity along with very mild vicodin wd.... I think youre doing the right thing and coming clean so soon knowing where the pill road will take you.  Stay strong stay focused and be mentally ready.  You can do it and were all here for you! Keep us posted on day 1 of wd if you deciede to stop
