norco withdrawal again.. yeah I know

Hi everyone.   Im a 33 year old female with three kids.  I went cold turkey three weeks ago even got to day six and stupid me I  got my  90 norco refill.  That was filled on the  23 I took my last one yesterday around 6:00.  I have not done the math yet but im sure its well over a couple a day.  What the hell was I thinking?    So now im starting over 21 hours in.  Does anyone know if my withdrawal will be as bad?  Im willing to do this and I know how stupid I am so please don't tell me about myself.  
  I even said before I got them " ive got another buzz in me but I don't have another withdrawal.  "   so what the hell is wrong with me.  Im done.  I can get more but I don't want this anymore.  Y he six days I had clean my life was so clear and I realized how much I missed out on ny kids life.  I think the guilt overwhelmed me.  Of course I have no health insurance so counselling isn't an option.   I just want to make it. Does anyone know if this will be the same hell I faced not even a month ago or will it be easier because I didn't use for about a week?  Not going to quit if it  is hard just a question.  I know I was addicted  for a long time so I do deserve this. Thanks for the help

Keep your head up, the guilt part is tough, that's something I struggle with the most too.  I actually don't have any health insurance either and would love to get counseling as I go through this process but can't, so I'm trying to use other supports as best I can.  For what it's worth, I've only been on this forum a week but it's been great, people are so supportive here.

Way  overly emotional I guess.  I started crying  when I read YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE I was ready for everyone to bash me. Thank you.  I am googling  those NA meeting s now. The withdrawal s don't seem as bad but I don't remember it being bad until day two.  I really hope some how it won't be as bad because i honestly don't know how I will explain this. Last time a couple weeks ago I said I was sick.
