Cold Turkey from Hydrocodone

I am so glad I found this forum.  I have been looking for one but all the ones I have found have been dated back to 2010 or even older!  I was on the hydrocodone bandwagon for almost 2 years.  Taking 1-2 a day.  Sometimes 3.  I know that is not a lot, but I came to realize that it is a problem.  This is my thrid time trying to detox but this time, I am determined. I am only on day 2, but I dont feel that bad....I hope it wont get worse.  You guys are wonderful with all the support.  I cant believe what a grip this has had on me.  I remember taking them once in awhile and then it turned into everyday.  I know I have to get better, I have a 2 year old daughter and she is my everything and my focus on getting better.  I have had panic attacks about my body shutting down due to taking those, I know I am being a lunatic, but I think that is what I needed.  My only fear, I have a dr appointment tomorrow for a bruised cartliege in my ribs, if they offer me something, what do I say?  I dont want it know I am/was an abuser, however, this pain I have *****.  Again, thank you all for the support.  God Bless
