I've been working as a temp for then past 7 months. There was always the possibility looming that this position could go permanent, provided the work output was adequate and awesome. It was a sort of "try before you buy" experience. Anyway, because of a few HR hang ups and delays, I had assumed I would have a much longer window to work with during the on boarding process. So basically, it goes like this:

1) I'm clean while working for the majority of the past 7 months.
2) I get my card on 9.20.13 (I had a climbing accident a few years ago and was prescribed edibles)
3) I sort of go on a binge with my newfound freedom, buy two quarters, a couple joints, etc.
4) I smoke about an 8th over the course of the week.

Now here's the awesome part.

5) a mere 7 days after I get my license, the job offer finally comes through and I'm going to be required to take a piss test.
6) I stop consuming immediately.

At this point I'm assuming that my test will be next Tuesday or Wednesday 10/8 or 10/9. I'm relatively active, usually about 3-4 days in the gym with some outdoor recreation mixed in on the weekends. Like I said, I do rock climb. And if I had to guess, I'd say I'm anywhere between 9-11% body fat with a pretty quick metabolism. I hover between 139-145 pounds.

I administered a practice test at home a few days ago and I did see one distinct line and one very, very, very faint second line on the test. According to the box, any line in the "t" section of the results should be considered negative. Though i would like to know your opinions on that. So that's my first inquiry I guess.

Moving along, I've decided that the dilution method is my best route considering the situation, and I'd rather not get my girlfriend involved (piss swapping)with this because of my own life decisions.

Given my usage (handful of times over the past year or so plus the recent binge), what is the likelihood that I can pass this naturally by next week?

If it's not a viable option and I have to pursue the dilution method, will my current intake of creatine (5 grams daily) be enough for the sample, or should I increase it over the weekend? Is there anything I should stay away from in the next coming days?

I've read a lot of information on the topic, but a lot of it can be contradictory or just flat out wrong, as I'm sure you're all aware of. Is there any other way of increasing my fat burning process I'm neglecting? Please feel free to offer up any personal experiences you feel might be beneficial here. Thanks in advance!
UPDATE:

As far as methods are concerned, I have been increasing daily activity even more than usual and eating relatively clean and fiber rich. As I stated before, I'm roughly 140 pounds with about 10% body fat content. I'm usually active anyway and my metabolism is pretty high. I've tested myself 7 times since I stopped smoking on 9/27.

That past two mornings, using my first void of the day, I saw a light but also very obvious second line in the "t" area of those tests, so I'm assuming I'm good to go. I'm not really going to over dilute because I'm fairly confident I'll pass as is. I'm thinking I'll drink a normal amount of fluids (I usually drink about a gallon of water daily anyway) tomorrow and down a monster before heading into the test. Those are loaded with b's and typically give my piss a nice, healthy yellow tint.

I'm not sure when I'll hear back, but I'll be sure to post results regardless of outcome. I appreciate any input on the matter, but due to the nature of this thread, I'll assume no one really cares anyway.

Cheers.
