Unhappy HELP. Mother wanting pill addict daughter in recovery to get her pills.



My mother is as sick if not sicker than I. I've been trying to get clean for almost 4 years now. I live with my alcoholic parents currently. I had some time and relapsed again on my mother's prescription drugs. Now that she is out, she believes I owe it to her to use my old connection to go out and get her even more than I originally took. I only have one week sober/clean right now and my brain is on fire since she brought it up. I'm pretty sure if I follow through I am going to relapse. DO I OWE IT TO HER???? I feel horrible and guilty and my father is on her side.

Omg!!!!!

I'm so sorry you are dealing with this.

No!!! You do NOT owe them at all!!

If she knows you are struggling with addiction, I'm surprised she's asking you at all.

Anyone you can see or talk with face to face?? NA meeting?? NA hotline??
You need to be around healthy sober/in recovery people, if that's possible.

Stay strong!!!

Right is right and wrong is wrong. It is wrong to give even your mother pills to get high on. You owe her nothing.

At the risk of giving advice, DO NOT DO IT. YOU OWE HER NOTHING.

(Parents can be so f890ed-up, can't they?)

I don't believe you do owe it to her and your sobriety should come first. Any way you could not stay with them?
