need some advice (on probation)

[Mr.NiceGuy11]

Hey all,

I've been on probation for about 8 months now and have 4 more to go. I quit smoking for the first 2 months but then realized that i could still smoke and pass my UA's. I have DT's once every 3 weeks not random, i know when they are coming. I usually smoke for about a week straight and give myself like 14-10 days to get clean. One time i only gave myself 7 days and was nervous and drank to much water and got a dilute, so i had to go back the next day to re-test. When i went back i just did a lighter dilution and i passed. after that i have been good about giving myself at least 10 days. But this time I have only given myself 7 days and smoked for 2 weeks, quite a lot. Knowing that i have already passed one time with only 7 days clean, I more confident about passing this one. I am working out everyday during these last 7 days except for 48 hours before the test. I am eating high fiber and taking metamucil, along with niacon, b-complex, one-a-day, cranberry and green tea pills. obviously I have taken every last precaution, this is my freedom we are talking about. I am 6'1 and like 180 i have a pretty good metabolism (it has worked for me so far).

I really just want to ask if there are any suggestions about what i can do to help get clean, i have 5 more days till the test and have home tests and am keeping myself hydrated. I think i have all the bases covered just want some more advice.

Thanks to all of you, your wonderfu.

Since, as you stated, this is about your freedom, there is one precaution you can take that will work - abstain while you're on probation. On probation I have to believe that they could hit you with a surprize test. Four months isn't a long time. I've got about 4 years to go on my job where I'm subject to random tests. I'm abstaining until then. When I'm retired I'll do what I want.

I say keep smoking. Theres no better way to stay clean then getting locked up again. Ask anybody who dropped dirty for a probation test...Oh wait, You can't, THERE ALL IN JAIL!!!! You went from smoking every 10 days to 7 days and next time You'll ask about 3 days. Theres a name for that, It's called Russian roulette. Say hi to big Bubba for me
