small relapse

[tphelp]

I have been cleean for three years from pain pills.  Six weeks ago i started taking about 2-4 vicodin per day.  I quit cold turkey yesterday and I feel like crap.  Does anyone have any idea how long this withdrawl will last?  Im hoping not too long, since I wasnt using for that long.  Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.

The physical wd's shouldnt last very long but the mental game i am sure is adding to this.  Do you have any plans of recovery care?  You can get thru this so keep posting.        sara

I totally agree with Gnarly. The WD might not be that bad. Aftercare is crucial. See even after 3 years it's possible to pick up again. I'm glad you posted because people she see that this is one day at a time and as addicts we must always keep our guard up. It's a slippery slope and one we chose.
Hang in there!!!
