I've got a urine test for employment and they gave me a 48 hr window to get tested (I wish I knew earlier than today, especially given I've just had my 3rd interview with them yesterday!). They will be sending the test kit with instructions via over night mail and I'm supposed to go into the Quest lab.

So looks like I've got to go in either tomorrow or by end of Saturday (I was told the labs are open on Saturdays as well). I've been smoking heavily for the past 5-6 years and have stopped cold since the beginning of April as I started job searching (almost 3 months now).

I was starting to panic and went to the GNC store and purchased the STRIP NATURAL CLEANSER. But given all the feedbacks on this board and others, it seems like this may not be as fail-proof as it sounds. Which of the following seems to be my best option at this point??

1) Drink lots of water/cranberry juice and take the STRIP drink...and if I do so, should I drink this today so I don't piss green and fail as many have done so? Or does that 8-hr window really important in passing the test w/ this drink? Some say they drank it few days before, some a day before, some the day of...and pass/fail results are mixed. What should I do??

2) Go with the dilution method. Do the same as option 1, buy a home test kit from drug store, test myself first thing in the morning tomorrow and hope I pass...and if I do, don't drink the STRIP and just wing it (hopefully the gap I've had since April has been long enough to piss clean). I was also going to couple that with some exercise today and tomorrow (probably running). But would strenuous exercising be too close to the test time??

3) Perform the substitution as many have posted. But will I have enough time to get the necessary tools and preparation in time for my test?? And sadly, I can't think of anyone off hand who can provide a clean sample for me on such short notice =( Maybe this option will not work for me...

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. Although I've read hours of posts, I still can't get myself to come to a decision without feeling any doubt.
