    You shouldn’t have to worry about criminal prosecution from a drug hot-line, as your confidentiality is protected by law.

    Imagine the police if they had to “knock on the door” every time someone was suspected or accused of using drugs. Their knuckles would be bloody because people would abuse this power by “telling” on people they were angry at, trying to get back at, etc.

    Please get help immediately. If you don’t stop this downward spiral, there will be police knocking at your door anyway, and it won’t be because of the drug hot-line.

    Good luck.
