vicodine addiction

[Tr37636]

This is my 3rd or 4th attemp to quiting vicodine..I have been taking this drug for 6 years. I havent had a vicodine in about 4 days, but, I have been taking tramadol, I have to.. the withdraws are just to much for me. I dont want my kids to see me suffering, Iam hoping this will help me with weining me off.. I am able to sleep and clean the house some, I am looking for support, because I know how terrible this addiction is.. the last time I quit for four months and I would have dreams about this stupid drug,, yes , I go to Pain management, I suffer with back pain but I see the road Iam heading down... nothing will be enough.. I will want more and more.. my brother is addicted as well and hes on oxcy... he almost died about 2 months ago from OD. My next Dr. Appointment is on the 12th of this month.. I dont want this anymore.. but I hate the withdraw and need all the info I can get on somethings that can help . Thanks

I can soooo relate to what you are going thru...Although  I have only been on them for 2 years, I feel the same way you do. I too suffer from back pain...2 surgeries later and the thought of getting off the vics is far worse than the pain...I hope it works out for you...just know you are not alone

It is a hard first step to take and I applaud your efforts.  I, too, have children, back pain and go to pain management so I know how hard it is.
