day 5 clean and I just got 20 vicodin...help please

I have been thru withdrawal hell this week and in a weak moment I called my pharm to ask for a refill yesterday. I didn't think my dr would ok it since it'd only been a week since I got 20 from him.
Well, right after an NA meeting tonight I got the msg that my prescription was ready. I am still feeling sick and wanted the relief the stupid pills would bring.
Anyway, I took 2. I want to throw the rest in the toilet but am worried I'll be going thru withdrawals all over again. Will 2 pills make me start all over again???
I'm really scared...I can't go thru another week like this.
....wanting to be DONE4good, but apparently not strong enough

I still have 13 to go. If I keep 3 of them "just in case" is that just the addict talking?
I mean...like if I wake up tomorrow feeling totally horrible..then I could use the 3 to taper.
I'm so afraid of withdrawal now.
I hate addiction.
