Withdrawl

I have an opiate addiction,, generally taking 150-220 my of hydros daily.. but have taken many different forms,, this last week I have been taking 150 mg of morphine until yesterday i took 90 mg and today took 60 mg... my concern is withdrawl as i'm sure everyone's is... I have been taking them for about 3 years and i have tapered down to 20 mg a couple of times but have never gone more than 3 days without using... In terms of long term withdrawl as in going the whole way, past 3 days that is,,, how long do you think i will be in hell.. and what limitations did people get,,, i've gotten everything from the amnio acid protocal as i've been an avid reader of the forum for a while now.. just haven't posted.. please pray for me  i believe i've hit bottom this time and i'm ready to move on and get my life back.. these pills have turned me into something that i'm not and i can't spend another day wondering where i'll get my next dose...

no i haven't tried it,, i thought it was for nausea and i haven't had any... i'm having a very weak moment tonight.... i'm emotional so i'll get right into it... i run an adult foster home and one of my ladies died this am in my arms, i spent from 10-3 with officers, medical examiners, ambulance people, and firefighters, when diner was supposed to be at 2 pm then to top it of,for christmas this year my parents disapeared for 10 hours before calling anyone... so you can imagine she what if's running through your mind about at that 8th hour after not contacting anyone and supposed to be at your house for dinner can do a mind.. well all of these emotional things are making me want to use because that is how i've lived with grief for so long,, and now i'm about 12 hours into detox, so it's not bad yet but the brain is screaming give me my drug, and i've just had the christmas from hell!!! I need support bad... I really want through it this time, i want my life back, and i want myself back.. i keep just trying to tell myself the emotions will come easier and i guess i just need to hear they do... by the way i'm coming off of a 150-220 hydro addiction of three years

flexeril and phenergan are safe..not addicting...imodium is safe as well cos if u tired to abuse it ur bowels would turn to concrete...out of the mix phenergan can help tremendously without fear...1/4 of a tab can help anxiety during the day...a whole one will make u sleep..also helps the nausea and sniffles as in reality it is an antihistamine...have u tried it yet?

I also have flexeril, valium, phenergan, ammodium, and ativan,,, i will use them as sparingly as possible i know the valium has addiction properties but i'm not really concerned as i've taken them before and never had an urge for any more... i want these pills out of my life they have consumed it,, i have held it together but i fear i can't for much longer if i don't do something... i'm not going to lie i'm terrified of this next week.,.
