Stealing meds from spouse

[Pixman]

I have been stealing my wife's pain meds, then switch them with look-a-like pills.  This is the most shameful thing I have ever done in my life!!  How can I be so selfish!!!!!!t

Becuz you are an addict......You arent the first one to do this and wont be the last.  Trust me here i did the same thing.  Time to get real honest with yourself and your wife.  You dont have to live like this.....Make a stand and take back your life.       sara

I went to my first PA meeting, the people were so supportive!  They gave my my first "chip"  for less than 30 days being sober. The group members passed the chip around before handing it to me.  Sounds silly, but it makes me feel like I belong.

Hey Pix!
I stole meds from my husband, my parents, coworkers out of their purses at work & friends medicine cabinets. What a ****** up slag I am! Addiction is horrible. It's day 23 off of Norco & some days I still feel like rifling thru other peoples stuff so I can get my fix.  Get yourself to NA & some people to talk live to about your addiction. You are not alone. Keep coming back!

Your story is exactly like mine. I stole from husband recently and I haven't had the heart to tell him.  He's been through this before with me. He is the love of my life. I don't know what to do! I'm sick with myself.

[Redflower17]

I am afraid he is going to leave me because he has left in the past. I don't want to let him down again. He may never trust again.  I replaced all his pills. Please someone give me advice

[Redflower17]

I replaced all his pills with the exact pills he had

Good for you on telling her the truth.  Let us know how your meeting went.   sara

Pixman, I did this for years to my own mother...and she really needed them. She got to the point that she stopped getting them because they weren't working anymore. Talk about feeling like complete crap! I have yet to come clean with her about what I have done...but do want to one day, whenever I have enough nerve. LoL!

It's all apart of being an addict...it's not right, but we are what we are and only WE can change ourselves.

Good luck with coming clean and your journey in life. It really is a beautiful world when you're not high. :-)

so what maeds were they that u have been taking and abusing?

[Pixman]

Thanks Sarah,  I want to take my life back, and be a better person.

[Pixman]

At least I switched her pills with otc excedrin, etc..  I am proud that I had the guts to admit this to her this time, instead of waiting to get caught.  I am fed up with this cycle, am planning on attending my first PA meeting this afternoon.
