Finally
So I finally owned up and told my parents, and they're being supportive (as everyone said they would be but I denied). Haven't used since Sunday, and suprisingly getting less urges than I normally would, although the withdrawal is worse.

Thats great!! I was so relieved when I told my parents!! I was 18 and it still didn't work our for me, but at least they could educate themselves on the addiction. I am now 42 and I finally got it.
I sure wish I would have gotten it at 18, my life would not be in the mess it is right now.

It's better than keeping it a secret that's for sure.
