I'm worried about Vicodin withdrawal!

I had WLS on 4/5/02 and then needed to have my gallbladder out on 5/14/02. Throughout this whole time I've been using Lortab Elixir. While I was in the hospital I used Morphine and Dilautid. Since the gallbladder surgery, I'm still having back and abdominal pain which so far is not being relieved by the Lortab. My doctor prescribed Vicodin ES, which finally seems to be helping. So basically, I've been using narcotics for 7 weeks. I'm starting to worry about addiction and facing withdrawal symptoms when the time comes. Anyone have any experience and / or advice on this?
