What you did takes so much strength!  I know how you feel about disappointing people, especially your family.  I kept my secret so long and even though I know my family was disappointed in me.....it felt really good to tell them the truth.  
Concentrate on yourself now....You can do this!

As the above has said, coming clean to your family is a BIG step in the right direction.

Admitting you have a problem is the first step in your journey, and you have taken it willingly.

I applaud your willingness to come clean! Congratulations on taking your first baby-steps towards sobriety!!!

Keep posting... this place has a habit of becoming addictive (some addictions are good, after all).

Telling your family was a big step. Our secrets keep us sick and by telling them, it will help to hold you accountable. Even though they may be disappointed, I hope they will be supportive. I don't know your story yet, but did see a post from before. Your tapering off percs now? Have you thought about anytype of aftercare?
