I think it was probably just too hard to respond. What we do as addicts is a hard thing to face and this was an especially harsh situation. I only stole from family and friends and never really got caught  - or I should say confronted - but it's only by chance that I wasn't in her shoes, or could be tomorrow for that matter. I hope she finds forgiveness and can get some friendly help.

FYI-
very very very rarely does this work for scheduled narcotics.  If it did, EVERYONE would be doing it.  Exspecially at PM Dr's.  The theme at my PM Office is NO EXCUSES. Or people would use all kinds of excuses....you spilled the bottle down the sink, someone broke into your car, someone stoled your purse....
Most dr. dont repalce pills....for any reason.

I had read somewhere that stolen meds could be replaced with a police report, apparently that is not the case according to some other posters. Didn't mean to post inaccurate information. I hope the ederly victim is not suffering. Hopefully the OP will come back and let us know she did the right thing.

As someone on methodone, I will tell you what is going to happen.  They might not find out if was you, but on the other hand, how are you going to feel if the cops come and put hand cuffs on you.  If you returned empty bottles, your prints are on them. You are caught right there. The person you stole if from is now in big trouble, they have to fill out a police report, and NO they will not just replace it.  The person will have to go to the clinic that prescibes it until they decide what is really going on. She's in real trouble and I'm sure you're sorry. I was too, when I got caught. But I hope you own up to what you did before you are caught, then it's too late. You are an addict, get help now, before you lose everything, including your family. Also, forget about your job and trying to hide all this, it's just a matter of time before you are found out.

I had the same exact experience.  I was just released from a 42 day rehab program.  I wnt to my neighbors house when she was home and took almost 50pills.  They were in front of me, and because I am an addict I opened the bottle and took many in the pockets of my jeans.

Got a phone call from the woman whose pills they were asking me to come visit her we need to "talk".  I knew what was up.  She preceded to ask me why I think she wants to talk?  I played dumb, and not too much later, she took two baggies containing each RX out of her kitchen.  She then told me to confess because my FINGER PRINTS ARE ALL OVER THE BOTTLES.   I ran to my condo and brought back the ones that I took.  She yelled at me, called my X husband, called my daughters called everyone who cared about me except THE COPS.  I think I was spared criminal charges because I admitted to taking them and was able to replace the missing.  

Unlike you,  I can not say I will never do that again because it was so stupid.  Stupid or not you are evidencing the insanity of a disease that always gets worse, never better.  As long as I am in active addiction I will steal pills from your medicine cabinet if given the opportunity.  

MY ADVICE IS TO TELL THE TRUTH AND GET YOUR BEHIND INTO REHAB.  Remember its jails, institutions or death.
