help getting off Lortab

I just found this board and am relieved to know there are others out there like me.  I need help getting off Lortab 10.  I have a lot of back pain and have been taking the pills for about 7 months.  It now takes more than 6 at one time to make the pain go away.  I'm scared for my health and I can't talk to anyone about this.  I'm a mom and I need to get back to my life, but I can't seem to do it.  I can't go to a doctor so I'm hoping someone here can give me some advice.

My name is Nick, I am 22 years old and i have been taking loritabs/hydrocodones for a few years now(2-3yrs)... just like JMAKEUPART i started taking them for fun or just to chill out.. My friends introduced them to me and it has progressively become its an everyday thing. I will spend at least $40 to $50 a week to buy them from people if not more sometimes.. i have recently lost my full time job and only work part time now. its now very aparent that i cannot afford to buy these all the time and still be ok financially. but now i just want to stop all together!  I havent gone more than one day off them since i started and that really scares the **** outta me..i dont want to be addicted to these things for the rest of my life! i just feel like my will to stop isnt stronger than my will to keep taking these. I get the feeling that these little pills rule my life right now and its gotta stop. help please.   Sincerely ,Nick

my fiance and i have been on tabs for almost two yrs. now. it started off as just taking them for fun, then my fiance found out he has two slipped discs in his back, so he was prescribed tabs. our relationship has changed durastically. we used to be so unbelievably happy, and now we argue all the time, and cant hardly have fun anymore. ive tried to come off of these a couple months ago, but it was soo hard. i was in unbelievable pain. so was he. we are just not the same couple we used to be. i feel horrible every single day and every time i take them.  i guess i just need a little support. any kind of feedback or prayers will be helpful. thank you for listening.
