What do I tell parentals about missing pills?

Question

Well you see I am a wide user of many types of drugs (nothing too hard such as heroin and what not) but I am a user of Marijuana and some other pharmaceutical pills. I still live with my parents and the other day I found a bottle of Xanax (.5 mg) bars and I've always been curious about Xanax. The bottle wasn't empty but only had about 18 bars left and I stole 5 of them... I'm scared my parents are going to find out about the missing tabs, maybe they won't, but if they do what's a good lie to tell them about how they are missing? They suspect that I do some drugs but they don't really mind it, my brother is 19 and always does pills (especially Xanax) and I would say maybe he took them, but he doesn't live here anymore and hardly ever visits.

and don't tell me I need help, because I have alot of self control and don't view my drug use as a problem at all.

thanks

Answer 1

tell them u wanted to take one because you couldn't sleep one night and some fell on the floor, you didn't wanna return them to the jar because they were dirty so you threw them on the trash can and sorry mom dad i forgot to tell you about it i thought it didn't matter so much... remember act normal and don't say anything till they ask, or they'll get suspicious!

Answer 2

You steal drugs that are not yours yet you still say you don't have a problem???? How can you not have a problem if you are willing to steal someone elses medicine and take it? What happens to the person who needs those pills and winds up 5 short and the pharmacy won't refill the bottle because it is too soon for refill?? If you can steal drugs then you need to be responsible enough to admit it and do it now before someone needs those 5 pills that are missing.

If I were you & your parents asked about the Xanax just tell them that you know nothing about it. I take from my husband 1 mg Xanax & he has no idea. He gets 90 every month for himself & he doesn't always use them. Mainly he is supposed to take 1mg 2x a day & a third if he needs it. Mostly he takes 2. He has a couple of bottles & 1 in the car for his panic attacks. He only asked me once if I took any I told him no (I hadn't started yet) & he said to just ask!! Sometimes I ask sometimes I don't!! Mainly I don't!! I've already taken 1 bottle from him & he didn't realize it for almost 4 days because I took one of his older bottles.

Don't forget if they ask you know nothing!!!!

Here's the problem:

You stole drugs, you're afraid to face the consequences, you're asking complete strangers what to do about it, and you deny you have a problem.

Don't tell your parental units anything! Just go about your life. If they say something, so be it.

You sound like you've got a bit of self-reflection ahead of you.

Answer 5

Xanax is a short-acting drug in the benzodiazepine class used to treat anxiety disorders and as an adjunctive treatment for depression.

Someone's gonna be super-depressed and/or sketchy because you stole their drugs. Stealing is bad. Dumbass.

Answer 6

well for one thing i think that if you know that you have this prob then you should be more careful about taking from your family. if it is that bad that you need to take from others then i would say that you dont have as good of control as you would like. i am not going to judge you cause i have a teen son that has tried many things and the friends have too so i know that judging dont help. but please watch what you do from now on and try to use more since. as far as an excuse just say that you were looking to see what the big deal was for your brother and that the bottle tipped over. tell them that you thought you got them all but guess you didnt.

Answer 7

I had that problem with foodstuff routine pills. yet my dad and mom informed me now to not take them and that i nevertheless did. He got here across out and yelled at me, in spite of the undeniable fact that the first time I were given stuck he gave me a lengthy speech. yet my dad and mom are causious so i imagine you're ok in case your dad and mom do not even options you doing drugs. they could get disenchanted reason it replaced into their stuff inspite of the actuality that. I say basically wait and say you took them a lengthy time period in the past.

Answer 8

I can't think of anything good to tell your parents. However, please just think about this: you say you have self control; however you have stolen from your parents to try a drug.

One thing to think about is that maybe one of your parents needs this medication badly. Your mother or father will probably not be able to get a prescription refilled until the time for the current one to run out. So now one of your parents will not have the medication he or she needs.

Please don't do this again.

Answer 9

If you don't view your drug problem (mixed with stealing) a problem, then why are you concerned with what lie to tell your parents?

I'm not saying this to be a bit*ch, but I am merely curious.

Answer 10

Go to your parents and admit that you stole them. Using controlled substances illegally does not show "self control", and anytime you need to lie to cover up drug usage, it is a problem.

I realize that you won't get help until you realize for yourself that you need it, but I have known many addicts in my time...please help yourself and stop hurting those around you.

Answer 11

well if your brother hardly visits i doubt that will be a good story what you need to do is tell your parents that you need help with a little problem you have do it now because if you don't get help now and continue with your ways it will be harder to ask for help down the road - i do commend you because i think for you, you are asking for help you just need to ask the right people for it - your parents
