feel bad at what ive put my mum through

It's a benzo, not an opiate, and the addiction is very much a physical one.

OP, speak to your ma and tell her you (hopefully) want to sort yourself out. It'll be one of the best gifts you could give her.
 
Take your pick

What's an opiate?
Opiates and opioids are classes of depressant analgesics derived from or chemically similar to substances found in P. somniferum, the opium poppy. They include both naturally occurring and synthetic substances (Erowid). Basically, they're painkillers. They make it so stuff doesn't hurt, and also make you feel pretty good. The slash is explained by opiates being natural and opioids being synthetic. This category of drugs includes oxycodone (Percocet, Oxycontin), hydrocodone (Vicodin), hydromorphone (Dilauidid), morphine, codeine, heroin, opium and a ****load of others. They all have the same basic effect in terms of what it feels like, but vary greatly in strength and balance of different aspects of the high. Also one thing that is a common occurence and is pretty annoying is people not realizing that Percocet, OxyContin, and oxycodone are all the same exact opiate - oxycodone. The first two are brand names; Percocet is a pill that contains oxycodone and apap (tylenol), OxyContin is a pill that contains oxycodone in time-released form.

Better than take her out for a meal.. cook the meal yourself. A nice meal and a good chat after (tell her youll sort yourself out and help her more), this is what your mum deserves.
 
Respect for owning up to your addiction & problems but this thread will turn into pages of people slagging you off.
Now you've admitted the problem you can start the slow process of making your Mother trust you again.
The best present in the world would be for you to sit down with her, admit to what a bad boy you've been and to come to a solution with her help (because she will want to help).
Of course you could then take her for a meal.

Sounds pretty sensible and honest too me, it will probably take time for you to earn her trust again but fair play to you for taking responsibility for your actions.

Talk to her and work at building those bridges.
 
strange post - guy with 4 posts openly admits on a public forum about his drug habit??

Why not take the post for how I assume it is meant to come across, a young lad who has had some problems, who is looking for some advice and now wants to build some bridges?
 
Spend the day with her and be open about yourself and she will appreciate it.
Some comments here are a disgrace really. People acting all big and clever, but any mature person should understand the effects drug use can have.

People aren't better than you just because they avoided drugs, its just an unfortunate path some people fall upon
