If you are going to ask your parents to bail you out of the is situation financially make sure you are actually going to be honest with them. Please do a inventory of your motivations. Do you really want to quit and improve your life or are you doing this just for a financial bailout so you can keep smoking it up?
I say this because I care and do not what to see this cycle start with any other family. Please make sure this is the last time.
Its not that. . . . . . . . . I can manage the money now. I can get some of it back and whatever i tell them about where the rest went, they will most likely believe me. I dont need them to bail me out now.
but i am scared that if i lie now, i will not be able to come clean ever again. And i HAVE been lucky this time because i have been able to get out of this without any legal issues. If it ever happens again, i might not be lucky, then they will get to know from all these different sources.
I might just be able to get away with it right now. Honestly i am really really scared of quitting completely. But this time i have lost a lot of money and its because i did something really really stupid. I must stop now or i never will. I think they can help me.
I feel more scared of myself not being able to stop than anger from my parents.
