Rx was forged but still filled A week later her dr called ?

[Rxidiot]

About 3 weeks ago my sister went to see our doctor for weight loss and the dr left the room that's when my younger sister stole a few prescription sheets that were blank and even though myself and a few friend told her not to do it she did :/ ,Well she filled one for anxiety meds not in her name i think and then a week later she filled 2 more for pain meds and muscle relaxers not for her self but for her friends dad they are really poor and his back is total messed up she was trying to do something good because they have no insurance , anyways ever thing passed the pharmacy filled them all with no problem i think , But then yesterday being 04/03/14  she called  our dr.office and asked for a refill on her sleeping meds she had forgotten to ask for from her previous visit, The Dr.office said ok they would tell the Dr. I'm not sure if it was filled but the Dr. them self called the next day saying they needed my sister to personally call them back A.S.A.P , Should she be worried is she going to jail what's gonna happen ? What are the consequences to what she did ? Can it be trades back to her ? She didn't use her name but u think she showed her I'd the last time she went to the pharmacy , she also is struggling with norco10/325 addiction she takes about 2-3 a day but has severe gull stone problems , PLEASE ANY ADVISE ON WHAT IS GONNA HAPPEN OR ANYTHING SHE CAN DO. were from TX

May we pray that she does get off with just going to a treatment or some out-patient treatment. I would not want any one to go to jail for this.
I was talking to the sheriffs the other day and they said they try to get them into Treatment instead of Jail..How true this is I do not know. I was one of the Lucky ones that got HELP before I was dead or in jail.
Heck, all my Years of using here and there..I got pulled over for rolling in & out of a stop sign after I left AA after I hit NA too..Ha!! They kind of gave me a break.
Please have her look into some kind of Addiction Therapy. I think this would look better in the long run. I do know lots of people who did this after they did something illegal and knew it was time for HELP!! They still had to pay the price, but it was not as bad as it could of been.
PS..GREAT INFO FROM ALL!!!

Thanks Lu!
It's soooo good to hear from those of you on the forum who kept me going early on in my first attempt at being clean. I think many remember me and how horrible of a time I had that first go'round.  I am proud of where I am today but still have to be careful and not let all my defenses down.  I've still a long ways to go.  As I had mentioned earlier, I'm going to try to pop my head in a little more often.
So so good to hear from you. xoxo

Dear Sarah, I am so happy that your arrest and legal troubles ended up in a positive note for you. You obviously have some serious great clean time in, and for that, congratulations!!  You have more time than I do, and I have utmost respect for you and all others ahead of me...

With that being said, I read this original posters comments with this in mind....a young woman with gall stones and a 20 mg a day habit that made a very stupid mistake. I do not believe she should have to go to prison for that. In your case, it was a lifesaver, but may not be for all. Prison could have many terrible repercussions for an otherwise naive young woman. Like I said, I was responding to what I read, and although a dumb thing to do, she could benefit from this in a positive way instead of possibility getting the book thrown at her so to speak.

Good legal advice in my opinion would really help this young lady at this time, could reduce her sentence, get her the counseling, etc...instead of breaking her spirit and limiting her possibilities for the future.  As you were speaking from your experience, I was from mine. I did actually talk with my brother about this post (he is currently a sgt for a large drug task force in Florida,), he told me I gave good advice, and it is what he would do, NO question, if this happened to his own daughter.  He stated that there really is zero tolerance these days for prescription fraud.

As far as a felony record, maybe the word "ruin" was a little strong, I should have said "have a severe negative impact" instead.  I stick with my personal opinion on this matter. I picture a relatively  naive young woman who made a terrible judgment call that (as stated) has never been in trouble before. I was giving the best advice I know based on my experience, as were you...

Good luck and God speed on your continued recovery. Michelle
