Be Honest: Painful as it may be, ask your parents straight out. Your pcp should also be available to help.Honesty generally is best.

Mutual support helps: Consider attending a meeting of narcotics anonymous. You are not the first young person to need support in asking parents for help to recover from this addiction.
