Hi I new here. I've been struggling with an addiction to opioids for a couple of years on and off. In the past, I have stolen medication for family members (opioids and benzodiazepines) believe I feel guilty and horrible for what I have done I started hurting myself because of it. My sister just found out the I took some of her medication again it was a few months but she only just found out. She said she's going to ring my medical clinic and report me to them she said something out if I ever need more pains I will have to go through 3 different and someone in Canberra which I'm a little confused about. I know my sister is going to do it. I'm really scared that this is going to ruin my life. Does anyone know what's going to happen? what will my doctor do? I don't ever want to go back to my doctor embarrassed about my behavior. I started using pain meds because of genuine pain but then they help me forget all the traumatic events I have been through in the last 2 years. I believe I'm suffering from undiagnosed PTSD from 2 extended stays in the hospital and almost dying both times I was in the hospital due to medical conditions.
