Here are my basic facts:

• 165 lbs, 6'0" tall
• Ex-chronic smoker - 1/4 a week. Basically, if I was awake, I was high.
• High metabolism, as evidenced by the 20 pounds I've dropped since I stopped smoking.
• 25 days w/out smoking, 26 days after today.

I took my first at-home test a week ago today (3/24). It was positive. Took another 2 days later (3/26) after trying to stuff myself silly so that the fat being burned was being created off of the food in my stomach, not my stored fat. Still positive. These were tests purchased off the internet from AZ Enterprises - THC-only tests.

Took a 3rd test (also from AZ) on Saturday (3/28). A *VERY* faint line showed up. From what I've read, *ANY* 2nd line shown is a negative result.

I started taking creatine supplements (GNC Pro Performance Amplified Creatine 189) on Saturday, as what I've read says it takes 24-48 hours for the creatine supplements to metabolize in the system. 2 tablets on Saturday, 2 on Sunday and then 4 on Monday and today. Also started taking a B-vitamine supplement - the neon green piss is kinda trippy, BTW.

I did a test-run of the dilution technique yesterday (3/30). Took an at-home test (one purchased from Walgreens - the "At Home Drug Test, Marijuana") yesterday and, again, there was a very faint 2nd line. The instructions for that test very explicitly stated that ANY 2nd line, no matter how faint is a negative. Was feeling pretty good.

Until today. I didn't do anything other than take the creatine and then did another At-Home (from Walgreens) test tonight. It appeared that a 2nd line was there, but my wife and I both were wondering if that was wishful thinking.

I have a substitution kit, but I'm really scared of doing that. I'm actually doing a test-run of that right now, thank goodness, I really cocked up putting the "clean" sample into the bag that is currently strapped to the inside of my upper-right leg....probably ended up with less than the 60ml in the bag. I purchased that kit from UREASAMPLE.com....anyone have any experience with that company?

As to the test - it is at XXXXX in Bloomington, MN. This is a pre-employment screening - they have no reason to suspect that I will test positive. I'm wondering if anyone has any experiences with that company or knows any place I can check their procedures.

Here are my questions:
1. Are they going to pat me down in the lobby prior to the test (my wife's biggest concern)?
2. Is the test going to be observed?
3. Is ANY line, no matter how faint a negative on an at-home test?
4. What is the threashold in MN? 50ng/ml?
5. Will the tester listen at the door? Do I piss into the toilet, fill the sample cup (if I try substitution) and then continue pissing into the toilet?
6. Should I go with a dilution run tomorrow and then go for the substitution if I'm not observed?
7. Is there any way to be sure that my creatinin

As you can tell, I've been doing a lot of worrying about this. I feel so awful about how I've placed my family in this position. I MUST pass this test, but the substitution scares the crap out of me.

Any advice or fixing of my facts will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
