12 days clean for light smoker
5'4" Female - 135 pounds - I work out about 4 times a week for over an hour - very rare smoker
Today is Monday, Dec 9. I have to take a drug test within 48 hours for my job (before noon Wednesday, Dec. 11). I hardly ever smoke. It was about 6 months before this time. It wasn't great stuff, but I am sensitive so a couple of hits is all I need. I took a few hits (no more than 4 for the entire day) on Thurs, Fri, and Sat Nov 21-23 and Wednesday Nov 27. That puts me right at 2 weeks of not smoking at all. I haven't been drinking a ton of water (I have been drinking tons of alcohol lol), but I did work out hardcore last week. I bought First Check, and the line came back very faint (-) without diluting. I plan on drinking a lot of water and cranberry juice tonight. I'm still worried though. 2 weeks is not a long time. However, I didn't smoke a lot even though it was on four different nights. Should I be okay? And what else should I do?

Drinking fluids is only helpful on the day of the U/A. Drinking fluids in the days before a U/A is of no help. For more info, do an Advanced Search with the terms "drinking water useless soluble".

Was this using the first urination of the day?
If your home tests are consistently negative with the first urination of the day (regardless of line intensity), youre good to go. :thumbsup:

Oh, I didn't know fluids only helped on the day of. And no, it wasn't my first urination. I have another one that I just ran out to buy. It's a different brand - Quickscreen. I'll use it first thing in the morning. Would it be better to take my actual U/A tomorrow evening after I have drank fluid and used the bathroom all day or wait til Wednesday morning. Extra time would be good, but I know first thing in the morning isn't a good idea. Thanks!!

Ok just woke up and took at at home test. Negative again. Should I still drink lots of water today? I bought B12 vitamins. Or would that make me look suspicious when I'm probably already in the clear?

Just drink only enough fluids to where youre able to produce a sufficient amount of urine sample at the facility. Drinking "lots of water" would send your creatinine and S/G numbers into a downward spiral to where the urine sample is ruled "diluted", thus spoiling of what could've been a straight-up negative.
