In need of help

I have been addicted to hydro, oxy, basically any pain killer out there that can get you high. I had 2 surgeries on my shoulder 5 years ago. I have been clean for a couple of weeks now, but I still have that urge to get more. I have 3 kids and a wife that seems to think that my way of getting clean is funny. I was listening to music, trying to find a song that hits home with my struggle to stay drug free. I told her about it and she laughed. I guess for someone not dealing with the withdrawals of addiction, this could be funny. I have tried more than 3 times to get clean and all 3 times I went back to pain killers. Any help, support or advice would be greatly appreciated.
