Jail?

[scaredmommy2005]

So I'm pretty sure my addiction problem caught up with me. This morning I had a missed call from the doctors who's name I used and from the local police department. They didn't leave voice mails but I'm scared again. I don't want to go to jail. I was an idiot. I have no criminal record and I have never done anything like this before. For those of you who don't know my story go and look back at old posts. Can anybody who has done prescription fraud tell me what my punishment can be? Am I going to get arrested? God what am I going to do? I know I have to pay for what I did but it's just my son and I. Who will be with him if they take me away in handcuffs?

I don't know but I wouldn't talk to them until you consulted with a lawyer and that is the first thing a lawyer will tell you. DON'T TALK TO THE POLICE.  Everything you tell them will be used against you.  I'm sorry but just because you confess will not necessarily mean that they will go easier on you.  
It's all about convictions for them.  
You need to talk to a lawyer first.  I don't know how many times I can say that.

Looked it up and it's 5 years after discovery. My thing is if I wait for a public defender is that going to make me have to sit down there longer? I mean will they makes me wait and wait hoping I will just spill my guts?

I know that I am very naive about things, but I find it so hard to believe that now after over 4 months they decide to do something about it! It just doesnt seem logical! I wonder what the statue of limitations is? Plus don't they have to charge you with a crime within a certain time period! I don't know, but maybe just maybe it's not as bad as you are thinking! Insure hope so! It's times like these that I wish I would have become a lawyer! Just thinking out loud! Try to relax honey!

I agree with Bkitty! Please try to relax! I know how hard it must be! I'm sure your mind is all over the place with trying to think up all different scenarios! Don't go there! Just get you thoughts together, have a plan, speak to a lawyer... Remain as calm as possible! Drink some relaxing tea or something! We are here if you want to talk. So many are praying for you! Oh yeah and I am remembering all the bad stuff I did while taking pills! You are not alone! Big hug!!

:( I can imagine.  Everything will work out though.  Maybe just call them again tomorrow, if you can't get through the number they called u on, maybe try the nonemergency number and just say you missed a call and were calling back.  Or, you could call the doctors office, but i think u mentioned that u didn't want to do that. I was just wondering if talking to the doctor and explaining the bad place u were in at the time and how you are now sober and in aftercare, if that would prevent it from turning into a legal issue.  Not sure how it all works, but you won't know until you talk to someone.  I am sure they will try calling again.  Hang in there, we will give you as much moral support as possible.

I just want it done and over with. It's been 133 days of waiting I just can't take it!
