Hi overwhelming
I'm an alcoholic but we have a lot of people here dealing with prescription med abuse - I think one of the main problems people face there is the fact they need the meds for pain relief or whatever, but the meds slowly come to control entire lives...and maybe even lead to other crazy atypical decisions and drug taking.
I would speak to your Dr, as difficult as that may be.
I think this is a situation where we all, no matter what the addiction, have to take a deep breath and admit this is something we can't solve ourselves.
Unfortunately many of us have tried to do just that, to save our face, only to have the problem spiral, and have our situation revealed anyway. I really encourage you to get help now overwhelming.
You'll find a lot of support here
We also have a substance abuse forum you may like to look at:
