I hate shopping, too. If I need something I figure out what I'm looking for and the store most likely to have it. Then I run in, buy it and run right out. I usually manage to make do with 3 pairs of shoes - sandals, sneakers and a pair of nicer ones for dress - and only get more when one pair dies. I got myself some UGGs this year and shocked everyone, but I got them because you don't wear socks with them.
I don't know what language is your parent's first language but it seems that you need to tell them the seriousness of the OD. It can be in simple language like 'too many drugs - almost died.'
And - a final. Cell phones don't have to be annoying if you don't want them to be. They all have caller ID - and they all let you turn the ringer off if you don't want to answer it. Then you can honestly say 'I didn't hear it ring.' I got mine for security. At the time I was ferrying a group of girls to a neighboring town at night for soccer practice and I decided a phone cost less than a new car. I still don't use it much and I've had it for about 5 years.
