I'm a heavy smoker ( 1/8th / day) I am between jobs, and I've had my holiday. I was through this before once, and my solution then was to quit for 6 weeks before I even went after the job. All in all, I ended up quitting for about 10 weeks. Now, that really sucked in itself, but I was on pins and needles the whole time. The not knowing almost drove me nuts.

I just got 25 - 50ng/ml cutoff urine test strips by courier yesterday, and today is my first day quit. After I get my job, I won't be too worried, as I'll be away and clean for two weeks at a time, so my levels will never even approach what they are now.

I have a diet and exercise program laid out geared for increasing my metabolism and weight loss. I am taking no supplements, but have a diet laid out for complete nutrition.

So, today is day one. I am doing this mostly for myself, plus, I thought it might be helpfull to some here to hear a concrete story from a heavy smoker as to what I am doing, and exactly how long it will take for me to pass a test.

I look forward to editing this post every time I test, and to see this through to the end. I hope this is OK. Wish me luck, I'm hoping to see a line after my second morning coffee whiz in a week's time.

(oh, man, I'm jonesing for a joint as we speak, better get to work)

Sounds interesting. Please record your weight weekly. Can you use only first morning urine instead of your after-coffee urine?

Yah, I forgot. this is part of my own records, I may as well have tracked my weight here, too, as that is important to my strategy, as it reflects metab.


.... 198 lbs

In a week, I want to do a test upon rising, and then after coffees.

After a week, I'm expecting to weigh 194, and fail.
After two weeks, I'll expect to pass second coffee. I have already shocked my cardio, and got my promised endorphins (it does work, you want for nothing).

Don't get me wrong. I love dope, but I just have to adjust into my career.

I'll never not love getting high.

Absence shall make your heart grow fonder.

I'm 5"11, 160 lbs, above average metabolism, heavy smoker just like you. I have plenty of strips. After 2.5 weeks, I barely registered my first faint line. Now I'm at 3 weeks, and the line is just a hair darker. Not much at all, but slowly progressing. It's going to take you about 4 weeks. Good luck...I'm jones'ing a spliff myself.

2.5 weeks. OK . I plan on proving it to be 14 days possible, with work. Doesn;'t matter, the deal is done, and I'm gonna report whether I'm recepted or not.
Thanks alot, Strangelove. Good to hear some RL stuff.

Whoever said that is my king for a day.

I think I said it. Last night that is. Does that count?

Hey Wrecks This is very interesting I wish I would have done this so others would have an idea how long it takes to get clean. I was also a heavy smoker I am 6' and 250 Lbs. took 6 week before it showed a faint line and another two to show a solid line. My work started random drug testing so I had to stop. Good luck to you.

Several things. 1: Hooray science and experiments! I like this idea, even though no one is like you this is still cool to see happening. 2: How the hell did you afford an eighth a day? O.o;;; 3: Again, hooray for science and setting a good example for people to follow if they're trying to detox themselves for any reason.

If you know you have to take a drug test at any point in the future quit smoking! Read the stickies and never start up again until you're completely in the clear, you never know if you might have to retest due to an error.
If in doubt, ask yourself this question: What's more important, getting out of the mess you're in or getting high?
