I FEEL SO SORRY FOR THE LADY THAT SHE STOLE THE METHADONE FROM WOW IF THAT HAPPEN TO ME AT 4 BOTTLES I WOULD HAVE EITHER GO TO HOSPITAL OR POLICE MAKE REPORT AND PRAY TO GOOD LORD THAT PLACE I GET MY METHADONE WOULD GIVE IT BACK TO ME. THAT LADY IS GOING TO BE IN SUCH PAIN AND NOT EVEN HER FAULT THAT WORST PART. INSTEAD FLUSHING THEM YOU SHOULD HAVE PUT THEM BACK, YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHAT YOU JUST DID TO THAT LADY NO MATTER WHAT REASON SHE IS ON METHADONE. I ALSO AGREE WITH OTHERS TELL HER BEFORE THE DAY TO USE THOSE BOTTLES AND THEY ARE NOT THERE GIVE HER TIME TO TRY GET MORE FROM CLINIC DONT LET HER WAKE UP GO TO GET HER BOTTLE AND THEM NOT BE THERE OH WOW. HOW DOES SHE NOT ALREADY KNOW THERE MISSING. WHAT DO YOU DO FOR LIVING?

I don't mean to be hateful but I suffer from several illnessess and take pain medication, I don't know what i would do if someone stole a whole bottle of it. That means this poor woman will have to go a month without?image what she is going through? she isnt an addict but dependent on them.. most pain doctors will not give you a new script regardless of a police report or not. The pain contracts say you are responsible for your medication at all times.  I know addicts will do bad things at different times to get their doc regardless of the consequences but I think you need to come clean.. you owe this lady an explaination. Why did you flush them? why not just put them back? you also need to check into some type of detox, there are outpatients facilities. good luck and I pray you do the right thing for this poor woman.

have you even stopped to think for a second what the person you stoled to pills from is going to do without her pills???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you have ANY idea how sick shes going to be???????????  

Why did you flush them??? Why not sneak them back??????

Coming from a fellow addict. . . with kids and alot to lose. . .I can't help but know where you are and know that you NEED to clean up.  Not cause you "got busted" but because it's necessary to live and be a good mother.  We all have done shadey stuff and swore that if we got out of this mess we would never use again and guess what?  WE USE AGAIN!!!  It is only a matter of time before we get caught and maybe this is a blessing in disguise.  Maybe this really is God's stop sign.  He isn't going to let His children do whatever we want.  I love the saying "God loves us where we are but He loves us too much to leave us there".  AMEN and thank God!!  Instead of trying to get out of this maybe you should just take your lumps and chalk it up as lesson learned.  Pray that God takes care of the situation and softens the hearts of those you need to be honest with.  The bible says "He works ALL things together for good for those who are called according to His purposes"  We can talk all we want about our faith but we as Christians (myself including) need to walk it out.  And the truth shall set you FREE!!!  Ooohh I gave myself goosebumps...maybe God was talking to me too haha!!

It's defintiely in your best interest to come clean with your employer. In order for the Dr to be able to replace her methadone, there has to be a police report. It's not something she can just call up and ask for more. Most likely your a suspect anyhow, and if you were to somehow get out of this your going to be watched more closely in the future. Maybe your right when you say there are a lot of other people and teenagers that have been around, but more than likely, they'll figure it out. We tend to think people aren't as bright as we are when we're using. We have everythig figured out, when in fact it's usually the oppsite of what are addictions telling us. I know my concious would be eating me alive, knowing an elderly patient was in pain and without her pain meds, and knowing that it's possible a young person could get in a lot of trouble for something they didn't do. This situation is a great opportunity for you to get into a recovery program. Like the others have said, start going to meetings and get into some type of treatment and come clean with your boss. Your facing a felony if you get caught, versus a lot of respect for doing the right thing by being honest and asking for help. That shows true character. Personally, I'd be sh*ting my pants, but it's up to you, beyond a doubt, you can change your life with the truth.

I agree with everyone else.  Your addiction has probaly already cost your family harm and money.  If you are stealing from your employer. the one who pays your paycheck who's next?  I am not trying to be cruel but I have seen firsthand how drug abuse can take away everything that is of value in order to get the next dose. (my famliy members are the game full gamet from selling to owning the corners to other family becoming users) and my mom and I have had to pick up the pieces of the children's lives.  You may not think so but their already affected.  The best thing you can do is to GET CLEAN, GET PROFESSIONAL HELP, BE HONEST, first with yourself and then with your family and your employer.  Look at the situation with a different lens (not an addict), what would you tell someone who's in the same situation.  You put your job in jeopardy, possibly your freedom, the freedom you need to concern yourself with is freedom from drugs. You employer needed the meds so you also endangered the health of another. Again I apoplogize if this is harsh but before you can be helped you have to be honest with yourself.  How long have you been taking methadone et. al.? Your first post didn't mention your family only your fear of being tested and going to jail and asking a way to avoid them In order to be helped you'll have to stop trying to avoid the problem. You must seek help for yourself not anyone or thing else,(not fear of being caught, your family etc...).   Although I don't know you I love you and am sorry for what you're gong through.  Our struggles may be different but we are still running the same race, to live the best life we can.  I am your sister and I've been harsh but if I didn't care I simply would have helped you figure out a way to 'beat the system'.   Use this site for support. We are here for you.  God loves you and will be refuge in your time of trouble, let the Holy Spirit comfort you through this process and I will be praying for you and yours..  Love, Peace and Blessings...Rev.
