Yes, I took that many too... (except it was Lortabs 10-650). It was a rough 2 years and I know exactly what you are going through. You are brave to have come this far on your own (me quitting was Divine intervention, believe me) but you still have a lot of work to do. I hope that you can get off that Sub soon too. Of course the physical part is the least of our problem - it is the MENTAL part that takes so long to get through, right?
If I could give ONE piece of advice to anyone (well okay TWO pieces):
1) Ask & trust God not only for the big quit, but for strength each day.
2) BE CAREFUL of other 'alternatives'. This is so huge for us that have addictive personalities. 99% of the time, we WILL find something to replace our addiction - period. For lucky folks, it could be something thats actually good for them, but I was never that lucky. When I finally quit, I started gaining back my weight, so I looked for alternatives. I ended up getting on PROVIGIL (MODAFINIL) b/c although weight loss was a side effect, it supposedly had no addictive traits. Well, I guess I was the one in a thousand because sure enough, I was up to taking 10 a day of those per day before I realized it. Man, how did that happen?? Of course the withdrawal of that was minimal, but my point is to PLEASE WATCH OUT for replacing the addiction.
Keep stong & trust God (if you don't believe in God, I personally recommend you seek him now... but that's your choice of course :) )
