What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NC
I am a recovering opiate addict, 15 months clean. I am randomly drug tested by my doctor, fyi.
About a week ago I did something stupid, not considering the consequences. I was at my parents house, and saw a bottle of hydrocodone that was waiting to be refilled. I was angry at my parents for leaving the bottle around. I felt disrespected because (although it shouldnt have to be this way) the amount of time i spend at their home, I felt they should keep their meds locked up. I knew they would get the medication refilled and hold on to it for ''emergencies'' and most likely never use it.
To avoid future temptation of stealing their meds, i refilled the meds and flushed them. My parents called in the refill and the Pharmacist asked if they knew it had been refilled. They said ''no'' but Walmart is badgering them for info, and of course I was video taped. Ive read that even if my parents dont press charges, the Pharmacist or state still may. Ive never been arrested.
Obviously I dont expect anyone to believe me (my family actually does though) but regardles, here are my Q's:
1. what should i do
2. what should my parents do. I dont expect them to lie but they dont want to incriminate me?
3. Can my past addiction medical records be used against me?
4. What is a likely punishment
Thanks in advance
