I am 50 yr old female
5'10
155 lbs
Have smoke pretty regular for 35 years. Hated to stop but so important I get this job.
I stopped smoking June 27th. My drug test will be on July 11th for a new employer. It will be 14 days clean.
I have been dieting and have lost 7 lbs and hoping at leat 10 lbs by test date. I have also been on detox 7 which is an over the counter from a drug store. I have also been exercising.
Is there anyone out there that had a similar situation and passed the test. I believe it will be a urine.
Im so scared of failing the test and it will be the end of the world for me if I fail.
Thanks for any positive feedback

Moved to urine testing. Sorry I can't be of help, but good luck!

you'll get more info from someone more experienced than me, but here's what i have to offer you, assuming this is a typical pre-employment drug test & will not be observed. i guess you were a daily smoker?? hourly? all day? evenings only? i'm not even sure that matters.

1. read the dilution and substitution sticky's at the top of the page. since i doubt you'll be clean in time for the test, you may want to try one of those methods to help you pass. read thru the posts as well. if you're like me, you're too stressed out to do anything else anyway, so just read thru them. you'll learn & gain confidence with this whole scenario. it's not nearly as much of a freak out after reading thru other posts.

2. if you decide to go with dilution, you'll need to go buy some creatine supplement ASAP and start taking it. this is IMPORTANT!!

3. for the dilution method: go to cvs/walgreens or somewhere like that and buy some marijuana home tests. practice the dilution method. practice, practice, practice.

4. your first void of the day is the "dirtiest" . to me, it makes sense to take your test around the middle of the day, or after you've been awake for 4-6 hours so you don't have to wake up in the middle of the night to start preparing. at least for the dilution method.

5. keep exercising. the best time to burn fat is 1st thing in the morning before you have anything to eat. wake up, pee, brush those teeth and get moving. if you are sitting at a desk all day and have enough time at lunch, go for a walk for 30-45 minutes. then eat your lunch.

6. STOP exercising 2-3 days before your test and eat big. the thc is in your fat cells & when you stop exercising, it'll stop being released. eat fatty foods so your body has new fat cells to burn instead of the ones with thc in them.

7. if you decide to go with substitution, ignore everything i wrote and wait for more info from someone experienced with that. i definitely don't have the nerve for that, although i'd love to. what a great feeling that must be. but, YIKES, i know i'd never make it.

good luck. read read read practice practice practice. you don't have much time.

If she decides to go substitution she can still do the dilution method as a plan B.

N2 is always quick to point that out.

Good Luck!

I used a method almost identical to what stupidtests posted with success. Like he said creatine is vital. I'd also recommend vitamin B, to keep a healthy yellow color. On the day of my test, I woke up a few hours earlier than I needed to and started drinking Powerade to get as many voids as possible before the test. I urinated literally minutes before I showed up at the clinic, drank a bottle of water in my car, then in the waiting room, drink all the water that they will allow me too (8 ounces, I believe). This is why the creatine is important. That will help keep the specific gravity of the sample above the cutoff rate. Also helpful is eating red meats leading up to testing day, and salty foods the day of the test.

If you're still worried, my best friend passed the UA for the military by exceeding the test's max cutoff by smoking a joint right before the test. Irresponsible, but it does work. Just make sure to take a shower and change before going in.

All in all, research as much as you can. I've read a couple of really helpful books. Get the at home test kits. If you look around on the internet, you can get them so much cheaper than at Walgreens. I bought 20 tests and had them overnighted for just over 20 dollars.

Good luck.

Hi loveit,

I'm close to your age and I've been smoking since '75. I couldn't pass a hometest with full dilution at 14 days, so I subbed using QuickFix. It was easy. I beat myself up worrying about it, but I did it, and so can you!

Get a hometest. If you can't pass using the dilution method, then consider subbing.

loveit

Thanks Sarah

What if Im honest and just keep exercising and eating right and just try the test? Any possibility for a negative? Im hoping to hear someone say they passed with just being clean and working out hard honestly after 14 days and passing

Yes, I've been there. I may not have smoked as long as you but I've been smoking since I was 14 and I am now 23. I only had 2 weeks to prepare for my drug test (took it last week). I honestly thought I was shit out of luck but you're doing the right thing by exercising a lot; sweat it out. Drink plenty of water and I'm not sure if the whole cranberry juice thing is a myth but try to have a glass of that a day too. If worse comes to worse it will help prevent an urinary tract infection, lol. I also took a laxative tea at night. I was somewhat on a detox. It was complete hell for me but in the end they hired me so I believed I passed.

Good luck, and post your results!

Sec

Love it, do you even know what type of test you will be taking?

Thanks so much for your reply. I just took a home test which cost me $25 for 1 test from Rite aid. It showed a barely visible slight pinkish line which they state is a neg result. But its so faint, Im going to try it again tomorrow. Pray for me, my test is friday. On top of everything else, I recd a letter from my mammo stating they have to do addtl testing on both breasts. Im waiting to hear from the doctor. I guess its my fault for putting it off. Im 50 and it was the 1st mammo I've had.
PS...Congrats on your job!!! I'll let you know how my test on friday goes for my job offer. Im supposed to start 7/21. Are you a nurse. Ive been in healthcare for 30 years.
