I am a bit confused.. you said she gave them to your girlfriend, right? If so, that's illegal too. How does your girlfriend feel about all this? Is she mad at you or mad at her friend for calling the police on you, or both? I was just thinking that if it's over now between you and your girlfriend...you might mention to her that her friend could be charged with some serious stuff too! Then pay her back her meds or whatever it takes to make things right with her. Maybe she could drop the charges on you? This is a tough one so You'd better get a lawyer quick!! It's probably a long shot and you DEFINITELY SHOULD NOT HAVE STOLE THOSE MEDS.... but an atty needs to advise you at this point. He will know if you should go to rehab first to soften the charges. I feel for you....I'm ASHAMED TO ADMIT THIS BUT I can picture myself doing that SAME THING, a few years back when I was going thru a bunch of [censored] and taking too many pills. Good luck-Hope
