I’m 17..How Do I Tell My Parents I Have a Drug Addiction?
Question by : I’m 17..How do I tell my parents I have a drug addiction?
I live in a financially privileged home, but that’s where my luck ends. Looking in from the outside, people would think that I have it all. Clothes, cars, and money must mean a perfect life right? Wrong.
I’m not going to lie, I’ve made a lot of stupid decisions already. I went from experimenting with drugs to regularly using them. Now I crave them, anything hard. I’ve already been to the hospital for cocaine overdose, E (ecstasty) O.D., and Adderall O.D.. I’ve lied to my dad, the paramedics, and even the police about how much and of what I’ve really taken. They think it was all an accident and the only time I used those drugs.
My problem is, I don’t know if I should just wait a year (when I’ll be 18) and get help on my own without my dad’s knowledge, or tell him now and disappoint him, lose his trust that I’ve worked so hard for, and stress him out to the point where it kills him faster..he has blood cancer and is undergoing Chemotherapy. Plus I don’t want him spending any more money on me. I can’t tell my mom, she passed away. I don’t know what to do. It’s not something I can just stop, I KNOW I’ll be doing it again.

Your dad is going through a difficult phase of Cancer, and you will not want to hurt him. But instead of confessing your dad about your addiction, why not try to stop it? You just need a little help and a strong will power. You THINK that you won’t be able to stop your addiction and that’s why you say you know that you’ll be doing it again.
Dear you are just 17, there’s a beautiful whole life ahead of you, please don’t waste your life because of the drugs !!
