| Hello, I am 6' 215 LBS. Pretty much all the extra weight is fat, so I don't have a great metabolism. The last time I smoked was July 24th. Before that I was smoking 1 or 2 bowls of heady buds a night. I am usually pretty inactive but I ran 2 miles a day for the past 10 days. I am going to stop exercising now because it is getting close to test time. Even though I was told I am pretty much a lock for the job, I have a final interview tomorrow. So I am anticipating that the earliest I could get tested will be Tuesday but I am hoping to delay until Wednesday or Thursday. That will put me in the 11-13 days sober range. Do you guys think that is enough time to go with dilution? I have used N2's method in the past and it worked perfectly but at that time I was sober for 3 1/2 weeks plus and had been exercising regularly for months. Substitution is not a great option for me because all my friends smoke, so I would have to use a synthetic which seems pretty sketchy to me. Plus I am a pretty clumsy guy so I am really worried that it fall off me at the Quest lab. Another option would be to use Dilution but sub the last few glasses of water with Natural Klean Herbal Carbo Q. I am not a big believer in those drinks thanks to all you great people. But a couple of my friends swear by it. One says he passed after smoking 15 hrs before the test. I was looking at the ingredients in the drink and it all seems pretty useless but it does have Citric Acid, Pectin Guarana, Fiber and Pottasium Sorbate. Can any of those help with the dillution process? Has anyone here had success with this drink? or would I be better off saving my $50. Sorry for the long post but basically I am trying to find out is 12 days long enough to use dillution for a heavy smoker? N2's sticky says 48 hrs, so I should be good to go as long as I follow directions right? Thanks again to everyone on this great site, you guys truley are a godsend ![]() |

| Save your money and follow the dilution exactly. You have enough clean time, give it your best shot. |

| My soon to be manager (hopefully) has been out of town so lucky I will not have to take the test until Tuesday, which will put me at 26 days sober. I was reading through the dilution sticky and am a little confused on how much water I am supposed to drink, I am pretty concerned about going overboard at this point because I think I have a great chance of passing if I do this right. Hypothetically how does this plan sound to you guys Sunday: take 15 700mg creatine pills, I'm planning on just breaking them open and drinking with water (I know I should of got the poweder too late now) Tuesday: 4 hrs before the test take 4 500mg Asprin with 16 oz of water 3:45 8 oz of gatorade 3:30 8 oz of gatorade 3:00 8 oz of gatorade and eat Ramen soup (lots of sodium) 2:45 8 oz of gatorade 2:20 4 oz of gatorade 2:00 4 oz of water with 2 Vitamin B2s (5000% each) 1:40 4 oz of gatorade 1:20 4 oz of gatorade 1:00 4 oz of gatorade 0:40 4 oz of gatorade 0:20 4 oz of gatorade Thats pretty much what I am getting from N2's sticky let me know if I am reading it wrong. Also I should have more than 4 hrs before the test, so can I drink 16 oz of water every hr from when I wake up to the 4 hr point or should I just not drink anything up until 4 hrs before the test? Thanks again for all your help |

| Did you test your self with home kits? I am 2 weeks clean now and I've tested clean with first day's void on day 10, but I don't smoke as much as you do and I am 30 lbs lighter at same height... but 26 days is pretty good time by the way I gotta go take the test on Tuesday or Wednesday... I have to schedule it on my time but recruiter reiterated to me couple of times that I have to take the test ASAP Last edited by blkprlz : 08-17-2008 at 09:40 AM. |

| With 26 days clean, you probably don't need to dilute quite so much. Like blkprlz said, take a home test. you can get them from most large chain department stores. Take one using the first pee of the morning. If you pass that one, then you don't need to dilute at all. Just drink enough so you can pee when you need to, but not so much that you are in danger of overdiluting. |

| Listen to Sec. I was only 11 days clean (and while everyone is different) I took the at home test with the first void of the day and got 2 lines. While one was very, very faint, you find that the rule of thumb here is: A line is a line, is a line. I didn't listen to the very knowledgeable Sec and diluted too much the day of my test. Luckly my employer let me had me take another test rather than count the diluted test and move on to the next applicant. I followed Sec's advice and am now working at a GREAT job and writing the first new chapter of the rest of my life. So get at home tests, listen to the more experienced members here and you should be fine. Good luck ![]() |

Sec is definitely a great resource on this site! I followed her advice and tested negative on day 10 with first void and just to be sure I tested negative again today on day 14 with first void. I am making an appointment on Quest's website today to take the test tomorrow or Tuesday... I will post the results in the results thread... but we all know what they will be ![]() One question that the original thread starter could use as well.... is there any difference between different home kits? I am talking about the one that CVS sells (First Check cup one that lid gives you the result in 5 minutes) and the one that Walgreens sells (At Home cup and stick that gives you results around 6th minute)? | |

| First of thanks, don't think I could have done it without Sec's help. Or at least not have a nervous breakdown without her reassurance and experience. I used the ones from Walgreens and they seemed to work for me. Sounds like your gonna be fine ![]() |
