I thought about going to the police, but since telling them the trouble I'm in will bring on new charges plus land me back in jail for a parole violation, it's not something I'm willing to do.

I've decided to check myself into a drug rehab center using the money that I do have that I should pay the dealer. If I can stick with it, the treatment lasts 3 months where he won't be able to get to me. I realise that by doing this I may violate my parole, but I'm hoping by taking a proactive stance that they will look kindly on me. That will give me 3 months to try and figure out a way to come up with the money I owe the dealer.

I know this isn't a perfect plan, but it's the best of the poor choices I have. I'm not sure if I will have computer access in treatment so that I can update here, but I will if I can. If not, then I will when I'm released.

So now my debt question has changed. I have 3 months to come up with $10,000, but I'll be in treatment where there is very little I can do since it will be highly restricted. Any thoughts of how I can do this?
Your first step needs to be getting clean. You're going to rehab for the wrong reason but at least you're going. 10 k in 3 mo's. Other than playing the lottery or going to vegas I don't know any way to accomplish that. You need to kick this and face things man to man. I don't know your deal or dealer or if he's a semi friend(most dealers don't make these kinds of loans to just anybody). You're running from a problem you need to face head on.

I don't think you'll come up with this cash in rehab.. Like I said previously dude.....Time to stand up and take your pain for better or worse. Sometimes you get the bear and sometimes the bear gets you but go out growling.

I personally think you're running from the problem but only you can determine the outcome. Good luck.
