I need help!

I had to take 1 1/2 Norco last night to fall asleep. I feel ashamed because I would have been at 41 hours cleam right now. Am I ever going to have the strength to help me off of this. Should I just dump the last few pills or keep them in case of times like last night or am I just prolonging the inevitable since I WILL get off of this?

If you are serious about wanting to quit,you have to get rid of the last of the pills and go ct.You had lasted 41 hrs and you can and will do better.
You have to be armed to fight a battle that you do not intend to lose.
The best way is to take vitamins and nutrients to strengthen your body and nervous system.
I will list the things that helped me get through withdrawals.
Vitc 1000mg/day,vitb12 methycobalamin 1000mg/day under the tongue,Bvitamins with zinc and minerals 1 daily,omega3,2 daily,coenzyme Q10 200mg or 100mg/day,Vit D3 2000U/day.
I took tylenol extra strength every 4 hoursmax 4000mg/day for rebound pain,alternating with ibuprofen 800mg/every 6 hours.max 2400mg/day.
To help me sleep through the first few Nyquil without the decongestant.
None of these thing require a Rx
