8/13/2012: (DAY 55 of sobriety - 33 days testing clean) 4 days prior I started creatine loading and taking b2, hand fulls of tums and drinking Gatorade and water. At this point I had been testing myself every day at home for the past 20 days, each time, the first void of the day (with no dilution the night before). I read a few posts on here of people testing clean for weeks and then testing positive for some unknown reason. It's probably total bullshit, but it spooked me enough so that I tested myself for 3 weeks straight, OCD style. I figured if at any time I failed since I passed my first passing test on 7/12, I'd say fuck it and substitute. Fortunately, I passed each subsequent test I took. I tried not to change any habit like exercise or diet. In fact I started eating way more than I should and stopped all exercise as the real test drew closer to put my body into hibernation mode. The day of the test I drank a few glasses of water in the morning with my creatine and b2 pills and downed a few tums. On the way to LabCorp I drank half a 32oz bottle of Gatorade. I took my u/a at LabCorp at about 3:45pm (right before they stop drug tests). There was 1 other person in the waiting room, not crowded at all with virtually no waiting period. I made small talk with the receptionist, told her "I'd be right back, got to go get some water out of the water fountain so I could provide a specimen.", she was cool and said to take my time. I needed it because I pissed tested myself at home before the real test, which of course I passed. And also tested myself after I got home, again, passed. Finally at 3:50 I went back with the lab tech, she told me to put my cell phone in a drawer, I didn't have to empty my pockets. She gave me a cup and told me to fill it up to a certain point. She walked me to the bathroom and told me not to wash my hands or flush the toilet and that I had 4 minuets to provide the sample to her, she closed the door, I locked it and pissed in the cup. I'm pretty sure, with some practice, subbing would be no problem at all. I gave her the cup, she checked off the box that asked if the specimen was between 90-100 degrees (mine was 96 degrees when I left the bathroom), and also that I provided the specimen within 4 minuets.

The deed is done. I can't imagine with all the time, testing, quantifying, and consistently verifying I've done that there should be any problem what so ever. Of course I'll let everyone know when I find out. Hopefully I won't have a long wait and I can put this nightmare behind me. Before I start to smoke again I'm going to get a bottle of QF and keep it handy.
