Going through withdrawals

I am 27 years old and have been addicted to Vicodin for 3 years.  It started as fun, I will take one here and there to get high and that is in.  I have a cervical bulge in my neck and have legitimatite neck and shoulder pains.  I have an 8 month old son and I was abusing while I was pregnant.  I am so glad that he came out perfectly normal.  Please don't judge me on this, I was addicted and didn't know how to stop.  Well for the past month I have been trying to stop.  I was off of them for a week at the end of Jan 08'.  After a week I got a refill and took 2 pills.  It felt great!  So I ended up using them again and within a week was up to the same old habits.  So after that I started to wean off of them, I went from 20/10mg a day to 30mg a day for 1 week and then 15mg on Thursday night at 6pm.  I was going through withdrawals the entire week.  But it was worth it because I am working on day 2 without any opiates and I feel much better than I did the first time I went through the withdrawals.  For me the worst part of the withdrawals are the extreme restlessness but so far that hasn't kicked in.  Yes, I am a little shaky but it isn't that bad.  My body feels achy and I can't stop yawning.  I also have no energy.  I with everyone the best of luck in breaking their addictions.  I know it is a life long process.  Just remember everyday gets better.  I keep counting the hours.  Not to mean that I am staring at the clock all day, I am trying to keep myself busy but when I look at the clock I can say I made it another hour and I can do this.
