lol, I couldn't afford it if I hadn't bought in bulk. Got my Christmas bonus last year, and secured a Q.P. before two weeks holidays, and decided in that time to quit my job. It was kind of a fill in type thing, anyway.

Yah, I went a little nuts. Should have called her quits at the end of January, but, my last big fling, and all that.

Four days quit now, and tried a fairly extreme diluted test this morning (couldn't tell it from water) and it was positive. So, I have a fair way to go, but trying to stay on the positive side, under that kind of hydration (voiding every 15 minutes, or so) if my liver / kidneys are still taking that many metabolites out of my system, I'm taking it that they are functioning well. I'm also hoping that means I am starting to burn up some fat, where I understand metabolites can build up.

No more testing for this cat until Saturday morning, which will be a full week, and a bit. From here on out, until I see some positive results, (no, not that kind of positive ) I am only going to test Saturday mornings upon rising, then after I get a coffee flow going.

As soon as I see any kind of line on the second test, I know she's all downhill from there.

This is wicked. I've been playing all sorts of mind games with myself, and haven't been sleeping worth a crap, and when I do, my long suppresed dream machine has been giving me some freakass nightmares, so I gotta get up, and have a smoke, and calm down in the wee hours.

Ah, well, anything worth doing takes some work. It's just too bad that the most common, most harmless (in my opinion) drug has the longest detection time.

Forgive me if I seem one tracked, and am not spending much time here, but I've been gaming alot, and generally spending a lot of time at my comp., so I felt I needed to get away for awhile. Just doesn't seem right yet to sit here without smouldering one up.

Thanks for the comments, all. I didn't know how this would be recieved, and this is a tremendous help to me. I just hope, in the end, I'll maybe be able to help someone else.

I think it's going to be at least 2 weeks still before you see anything. Like I said, I'm a heavy smoker for years, on day 25 of abstinence. I get a faint line with no dilution now. My first faint line with dilution was around day 14. I have a fast metabolism, run regularly, 160 lbs, 5"11, all that jazz. Point is, it just takes time. I had no idea it would really take this long, kind of like you. But it does.

I will try and post an image file of my faint line tests just to see if you guys think it would count as passing. But from reading posts of another faint liners being sent onto GC/MS, I want a more solid line for sure.

Thanks, Dr. S. Your story is actually encouraging to me. I've read the horror stories, and I always try to expect the worst, but hope for the best. Just about a month in for you,congrats, it ain't easy to change habits.

Thanks Wrecks. I appreciate the encouragement. I can't wait for this to be over to have another smoke. I promised the wife that after abstaining and passing this test, that I would only smoke it on weekends. That would be a nice goal.

7 days!!

Been sticking with workouts / low fat, balanced diet
Gone from 198 to 192 lbs (think I may have been retaining some water for the 198 / that seems pretty drastic for 1 week.)
1st void / positive
coffee rhythm void / positive

Beginning to sleep again, so my filter system should start functioning better.
I'm not disappointed. I was pretty much saturated, so it's going to take awhile. At least the bad mind games are over. The insomnia left me in a weakened psychological state, which made it double tough, but I know, for me, giving in just once would be giving up.

"after abstaining and passing this test, I would only smoke it on weekends. That would be a nice goal."

Roger that! I will never get carried away like that again, and become so saturated, and immune that I forget what it's like to get high. What I did was an affront to the philosophy of smoking pot, it became just my natural state of being, and I wasn't even really getting high anymore. (nothing wrong with what I was smoking, either, to the tune of saving the baggies to rinse with isopropyl, 'cause you could see the cloudiness from the sweet gumbo that stuck to the bags)

12 days quit now, desperate for any kind of result this morning, after a couple mugs of coffee, I pounded back 64 ounces of body temperature water, and did a test at what I figured to be the best time. Nothing. So I mixed that 50/50 with room temperature water, and tested.

I got a super faint line, (squint, look away, squint, look away) but it was there. I tried scanning it to post my sick little results, but you couldn't see it from the scanned image.

I'm going to continue to work hard. I've extended my cardio sessions to 1 hour. (up and down 4 steps, while I watch a movie = roughly 3000 - 3600 steps / day) Then 60 pushups / 60 situps in sets of 15, and I am flogged right out after that.

This is getting less scientific, and more of a bloody soap opera all the time, but I guess I'm here as much for getting / giving moral support as anything. I live alone and don't have anyone else I can talk to about this stuff. (I will not flood this thread to try and keep it at the top, but rather reach back to the 2nd or 3rd page (busy forum!) every so often for an update)

I'm hoping in the end, I will be able to somewhat repay the debt I owe you people for listening to me by summing up my experience in a way that some other poor sap like me may benefit from, and dodge some stress and uncertainty. In the meantime, I find this very interesting and beneficial, and enjoy participating in other's lives in some small way.
