Today is going to be a very tough day today. Very emotional. I have decided that I am going to tell my family about my problem. No one knows about it. Heck it was just until recent that I accepted what I had known and that's that I have a drug addiction. I'm not sure how my parents are going to react. I know this is going to crush them. AM I doing the right thing by telling them? Should I just keep this to myself and battle this without them knowing? I'm confused and in tears right now. I'm aching and feel like hell.
Gonna go lay down for a bit.

I would say yes tell your parents and let someone help you. How long have you been using and what have you been taking? Rae

The truth shall set you free..is that how it goes? Yep. It's really true.
Tell them you need their support and help. I think you'll be surprised.
We all will be right here pulling for you...

I have been taking percs, oxys, actiq pops for about two years now. Only time I stopped was when I couldn't get anything.
I know I need to tell them, I just don't want them to look at me differently like I'm some junkie or something. That's what I'm worried about.

You are a junkie. lol
But it's ok, because now you are a recovering junkie. Get your family to get help for themselves to understand this disease. And yes, it is a disease and it's not your fault.

Hey irish,
No one knew about my using, but as soon as I told them, it was a huge weight lifted and they all wanted to support me. My hubby was pissed at first and very scared. But he was always very supportive. I tried to do it alone, and it didn't work.
Glad to hear from you today. Take it a step at a time.
Hugs,
Pammy

Dear Kerrin WELCOME.Listen I can totally understand your fears.Theres just something about the word addict that make people look at you different.But after you do talk to them I think that a part of you will be able to exhale.its hard to hide stuff from our love ones.Most of the time they'll know somethings wrong anyways.
I think by what your willing to do shows that you are serious about wanting to get better.I dont know how your family will take it,but I do know that the love & support I get here at home helps to keep me focused.Good luck to you & please let us know how it goes...mj

Telling my brother, sister, and mother isn't my hold up. It's telling my father. See, I live with him and also we work together. Basically, if I'm not out with friends, I'm around him. I'm just not sure how he's going to take this. whether he is going to be supportive or a total spaz.
Well, regardless of how he's going to be, he needs to know. I'll fill ya'll in!!!
