Kitten,

I spent 3 days in the hospital in Nov 06 to get off Vicodin, that I quickly got hooked on from my surgery in September. I was takign the liquid version and in that short time I became totally addicted. It scared the life out of me. It was a hard ugly detox for about 3 weeks, the first 5 days were the absolute worst, but my hubby was there and supported me and I haven't had any vicodin since one week before Thanksgiving. I remember checking into the hospital and goign into the bathroom and taking one last slug... just in case I needed it...amazing.

Do what you have to and know that getting back your life is the true success!
