Please help
Hi. I am a 52 year old male.I started using Lortabs on and off about 6 years ago after arm surgery and three shoulder surgerys.
I have been taken 3 10mg tablets per day for the last 2 years because of back pain.
I realize this isn't a lot compared to some folks but I don't like what they are doing to me. I will not keep taking these.
I took my last pill 21 hours ago. My head is swimmy and I am emotional. Kinda feel like I have the flu.
What can I expect in the next week ? When will the withdrawal syptoms go away ?
Can I do this ? Would some one help me ?
I am working 12 hour shifts at a factory while doing this.
I have three collage age kids to care for.
My wife left home three days before Christmas after 30 years of marriage.
I am broke.
And I must move in 30 days.
I'm trying to hold all this together.
I do trust and depend on God. Aways have always will.
Thank you all. Please help me.

You being 105 hours in and just"wanting one pill" is EXACTLY WHY you need to get rid of your bottle of pills!
I agree with the others, GET RID OF THE PILLS NOW!!!! Hanging on to them is like telling God in case He didn't hear you, You can take care of it yourself. I know I've been there. I will also be praying for you and your family. God Bless
Hang in there man. The pills are not the answer, they are the problem.
I was in your shoes 2 years ago. Broke, fiance ditched me, etc. It WILL
GET BETTER. PRAY. Drink fluids, EAT. Exercise if you are able and don't worry about not sleeping, it will come. Remember the pills landed you where you are. Take it one hour at a time. You can do this.

Hey... Your going to start feeling better every day... The worst will soon be behind you. I wanted to tell you that keeping a full bottle of pills, or ANY PILLS, is setting yourself up for failure!! The addict brain will scream, tell you lies, beg and plead until before you know it the viscous cycle starts all over again. Keeping them around is like a back up plan! YOU DON'T NEED IT!!
My advice... Get rid of them! ASAP! If your getting clean and planning on staying that way... Set yourself up for success!
