Unfortunately we don't think about anybody but ourselves in active addiction. There's no sense in beating yourself up over and over about what you did because it's done now.
There's no way I would talk to anybody but your Mother first. I would think she'd much rather hear it from you than walk into work tomorrow to find all this out.....
I know that's probably not what you want to hear, but from what you describe your Mother sounds like a wonderful lady. Yes, she will probably be disappointed, but it sounds like she will also be a wonderful support for you to change your life around as well and you are lucky to have her.
Thats where you need consult from the lawyer
Amazing all the support on her...can't say I feel better..yet, I feel a little "safer" now. It's so hard to be optimistic about all this....I do know...I will get clean, oh how I dread telling my mother..I do agree, my mom finding out about this from someone else would be worse than hearing it from me. Does the doctor have to contact the police?
We all understand that you don't want to cause your mother any more upset, but it will be much worse tomorrow when she finds out from someone else.
It took courage to come on the list, accept your problem and tell us about it. I think you have courage to tell her to. It will be easier on you both.
You have to tell your mom, and it probably wouldn't hurt to call the doctor and come clean and apologize and ask for some help getting into detox. He may have protected you with the pharmacist since he knows your mom, but you KNOW he will tell her. The gig is up. It's time to come clean, take responsibility and get better!!! Don't let your mom walk in there and be told by the doctor, ok? She deserves to hear this from you.
You can do it!
She will be more hurt if you let her walk into work tomarrow and find out. Thats not what you want to hear but you should do it. She is going to find out anyways and would be best coing from you. Sounds like the best time to quit the pills. You have loads of suport here. And yes talk to a lawyer, they know what to do. Its gonna be ok eventually.
