Okay, so I have a saliva swab test tomorrow (Tuesday, 10/22) at 6 o'clock in the afternoon. It's for a job at Kroger supermarket. I'm a big guy, 6 ft tall, 270 lbs. and i've been a heavy smoker until recently due to a drought where I live. from Tuesday up until Saturday (10/19), I've only smoked a GB or two a day. I know that the detection time is rather short, but here are the steps I have taken to prepare for the swab test. any suggestions to further prepare are wanted and welcome! also, please tell me if i'm screwed or not.
-Smoked twice Saturday night, consisting of 3 GBs in total. mouth washed after each one, and brushed my teeth
-stopped smoking after Saturday night, around 8:00, haven't smoked since
-brushing teeth 3 times a day since, using mouthwash before
-started drinking a gallon of water today
Tomorrow right before the test, I plan to:
-drink 2 gallons of water in the hours leading to the test
-mouth wash and clean my mouth thoroughly at least 5 times before the test
-eat supper 45 minutes before the test
-in the parking lot before the test, I plan to wash my mouth out again with mouth wash and rinse with water.
I know it's a good idea to avoid contact with your tongue and cheeks when you put the mouth swab in, but how can I do it without them noticing? put it in between my back teeth or what?
so am I good or what? 70 hours without smoking and above steps. What else should I do, and what is my likelihood of passing? I really need this job. being broke isn't fun, and jobs don't come around often where I live.
