Graduate later. High school isn't going anywhere, you gotta get off of the dope and it's so hard to do alone.

@Gummybear1011 How much more of high school do you have ahead of you? Unless the answer is less than a semester, I'd vote for rehab.

@greenmountaingal i have two months left

@Gummybear1011 If you are physically well and able to study, continue--but talk to someone about rehab one day after graduation and get ready to go. Instead of that GED book, maybe an SAT book...?

@Gummybear1011 Are there intermediary steps you can take? I mean, I guess it depends on your situation but maye there's supports to help get clean in your area. If you can't get to rehab then do what you can to use as safely as you can. I've lost friends to overdose so heroin scares the shit out of me.
