I have pretty much come to terms with myself that I have a drug addiction.I am addicted to Vicodin(Hydrocodone). I've tried to stop taking it, but then I just turn into a horrible person, I start yelling at peole, and getting irritated, and I get really upset, and I am just like a monster.The other thing is that I have suffered from addiction before, I was dependent on a post operative pain-killer percocet(Oxycodone). I received counseling for my addiction, and I was clean for many months, but I had Vicodins left over from dental surgery, and now I am hooked on those.I am so scared to tell my family that I have a new drug problem, since they already knew I suffered from one before. I am afraid that they will look down upon me and put me down about my drug habits, and how I bring disgrace upon our family.My parents think I am clean, and fine, and if I tell them, I am afraid everything is just going to be horrible, and my parents will never trust me again.What can I do?

Is it scarier than dying?I only ask because you can do one, or eventually the other.

You have to just'cowboy up'. Just go be sick for a while, it'll be worth it.
