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.

I was taking about 100 mgs a day for two or three months.  My mom changed her hiding spot or keeps them in her braw or something.  I asked her to ween me off, but she does itt very reluctantly with anger and makes me feel guilty.  Some days I only have ten mgs and suffer to death.  Some days I get atleast twenty mgs and get to relax for a while.  We tried weeing off but I cheated.  She's just giving me small doses to prevent withdrawal symptoms like fever and chills.It's been a week now.  I don't feel like doing anything and get very nervous and irratible.  Mom's a doctor.  Though she keeps it a secret, I think she's addicted too.

I need some support.  I have been taking large amounts around 30 7.5 lortabs daily for quite some time.  I want to stop.  I went cold turkey again (done it more than once, always relapse) this is my second day and am feeling the pain that I was covering up.  I want any support that anyone can give.  Everyone seems like such great people, with all the same problem.  It makes me feel a little better knowing I am not alone.
Any advice in what I can do to keep clean will be appreciated.

welcome, you have come to the right place.. however this thread you added your post to is from last year, these posts generally get over looked for posts that are newer.. i would hate for you to get ignored. so scroll down and click on Back to forum then on the main page click on Post a question and introduce yourself..

it has been 12 hours since my last loratab.  I told my husband and two sisters two nights ago. I told my mom and dad today. I know I can do this. I am scared of tomorrow. I want to crawl in a hole and die.
