Answer by busylady0615
well, it depends on what it is. if it is a painkiller (probably, those are the most addictive) then you should go to your dr. let them know and they can help you safely stop taking the drug without severe withdrawl syptoms. also, they can make sure you never get it or it’s relatives again to renew your problem.
i know it seems scary to never have it again, but if you really want help then do it!

Answer by Per D
I suppose so but people would call it alcohol abuse rather than drug abuse. Although technically binge drinking is drug abuse, it is usually only illegal drugs that are “drug abused” and prescription drugs.
