12 days clean for light smoker

[RedMystique]

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".

I bought First Check, and the line came back very faint (-) without diluting.

Was this using the first urination of the day?

Should I be okay?

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.
