I need help stopping norco/vicodin

My use started with back pain a couple yrs ago and has now turned into an addiction....never thought I would be this way :-(  I have 3 little kids and don't want to keeping these drugs as a priority in my life,  I take them now just to feel normal otherwise within hours Im sweating and aching and feel terrible.  My husband really wants me to stop and so do I but the withdrawls are so bad I can't take care of the kids if I'm not taking them.  I can't go to rehab!  Any advice on how to end this nightmare?

I am a stay at home with 2 small kids. I went c/t 4 months ago. I am not gonna lie to you but it was awful. Yes you feel like ****, your body aches and you have no energy to name a few but i will tell you it is so worth it. It doess get alot better after a few long days and every day after you will feel better and better. You will one day look at your kids and remember how you were on the pills and how you acted and you will just want to hug them and cry and say sorry. When this happens and you are your good old self again you will relize why i am saying that it is so worth it.
Good luck to you and if you need anything let me know. By the way were do u live?
