hi my name is Kris,why i put my e-mail i have no idea, need to change that. my question is , after quitting c/t for 24hrs now,  a friend of mine told me to expect the worse w/d in the next couple of days, that scares the **** out of me! is that really true? cuz today was extremely hard all i did was cry,the pain was unbearable all i kept thinking was if i take a vicodin all this pain will go away! i didnt though, i want to be free of th pills i have quit 3 jobs cuz when i ran out of pills i couldnt work, my family seemed to always be the last thing on my mind! i want to be a good mother without the pills. my son thinks i have the flu, i feel so ashamed. i keep telling myself that tomorrow 2:00pm it will be 48 hrs since my last pill, once i get thru i will never take a vicodin in my life.

Did you see the Thomas Recipe on the other thread - it will help you.  Do you have any benzo's?  They will put your mind at ease.  Part of the recipe by the way.

Just remember you are not alone - all of us have gone through what you are going through.  It is bad the first few days - it will pass - just remember that.

sweety... you HAVE to gut this out.  you only have a couple more bad days at best.

you said you quit 3 jobs because of the pills.. not to mention your kids.

what is 3 or 4 days of flue-like symptoms compared to the rest of your life??  really, think about that.

please, please, please do all you can to get through this.  and once you get through the worst, i think it would be a good idea to look into a support group - you've lost alot to the pills already.  you don't want to lose anymore... and the good news is, you don't have to.

again, just know it's only a couple more days.  do it for yourself, do it for your kids.  your life will be sooo much better.

i wish you well...
