Name: Lori

I am addicted and scared and I just don't know where to start. I've been on pain pills for approx 3 years after an auto accident and 3 back surgeries. Long story short, I was drug tested at work for missing papers and narcotics. A week before I was withdrawing, I met up with a friend and tried heroin for the first time. Then two more times after that. The medical review board called me today about my failed urine drug test and they would have to report it to my job and also all the other prescription meds in my system at the time. I've worked there for 10 years and I'm so scared right now. I live in NC. Does anyone know what is going to happen to me and what I need to do. I know my boss knows as of today and no phone calls yet to go there. I'm sure I will get fired. I can't believe I put myself in this position.

I know I need help. I am scared and just feeling frustrated right now. If anyone can help please do.
