I suggest you make no further statements or admissions. Time and patience are your allies. The worst you'll get is probation, or a few months in jail,unless there is more to the story. I suggest you speak only to your lawyer. You're not going to walk away unscathed,you're presumed to know some things at age 60!!!!

You knew how to sell drugs. Yiu also knew it was a crime. I suggest you shut up,stop whining, and get ready to take your legal medicine. You might want to eventually beg for mercy and rehab, if they convict you. Otherwise, with time and patience (and luck), you might get a second chance and just a slap on the wrist. If you get antsy,this will get worse. Pain is nothing. I live with it daily, and don't take any of the many drugs I possess (legally) or my physician would give me.

Sometimes you just need to suck it up and say no.
