Help! Coming Clean About My Addiction To My Parents by darnley16(m): 12:09pm On Sep 07, 2017 |
I'm thinking about quiting marijuana , (not that its affecting me or nothing) but what if I come clean and tell my parents I'm addicted to prescription pills , they are the best parents anyone can ask for , and I feel it could be possible for parents to help their kids in this suituation or just make matters worse So please anyone here that has had previous dependency and told your parents about it , Share your experience? please I need your opinions/advice |

I really don't know much about dependence on marijuana but from personal experiences I can tell you your parents won't receive this news well, especially your mum They will feel disappointed and let down, your mother will say alot and feel heartbroken, Your siblings might even ostracized you and start seeing you as a black sheep. 2 Likes |

greatnaija01:Thank you sir, my whole family is not a spiritual one , I.e were all Atheist |

darnley16: if your family practise atheism then telling them should be easier. since your mom is a counsellor, you should tell her first, she will know how to manage this since she has dealt with it before 1 Like |

darnley16: We all have our vices, you are not the only one who's addicted to marijuana or even smokes. It's going to be hard to stay off it but if you try hard, you can. withdrawal can be draining. You've at least admitted to yourself that there's a problem and you are more than willing to stop. it takes a strong and willing person to do this. I wish you all the best and I'm sorry I can't offer you any advise on how to stop your addiction if you have any issue or feel depressed or if you ever need anyone to talk to, Please do send me a PM. Many others have gone through this path. 4 Likes |

With JESUS, all these will be very easy . You need to occupy your mind with something positive not counting the number of days you didn't smoke. My opinion though, not a counsellor. |

Since you said your mum is a counsellor, she should be able to handle the information, especially if she's a practising counsellor, not an academic one. Is is against Counselling ethics for her to be your counselor but she would recommend her colleague who will relate with you. There is no need to hide your unclothedness from the person who would wash your corpse. Please tell your mum, come clean and seek help. |
