You just need to sit her down and be very honest. You will feel so much better and i will bet you she does to. You said she knows about it already but it obvious she doesnt know all. Maybe you being 100% honest with her will put alot of things in prospective for her. Good luck to you!

Honesty is the best policy, for sure...but I think what will actually make it best is if you actually admit to her that you realize it's wrong and very damaging to both you and your relationship with her, and that you're seeking help for it--which means identifying why you're taking the pills in the first place, and fixing the root of the problem.

If she knows you're not only being honest with her, but you're actually fighting to break the terrible cycle, I think she'll understand.

Telling my husband about my problem was the best thing I have ever done.  I told him about my being addicted to ambien and hydros and asked him for help.  After we both cried we worked together and I think the only reason I am clean today is because of him and this forum, but most of all GOD!  Tell her and it will be worth it.  If she doesn't want to help you with it, you need to seriously re-evaluate the relationship
