Another How Long Will I Take Thread...

[twin_rotor]

Height: 6'3"
Weight: 220lbs
Fat Ratio: not sure, but I have a gut and love handles, but no cottage cheese legs or bingo wings, ect.
Metabolism: medium(I don't gain weight if I stick to a "decent" diet)
Exercise: I started riding a bicycle about 10 miles a day starting 15 days ago.

I smoked everyday for 15 years. Since the begining of '07, I quit for 2 months total from January to late Febuary. From then, I smoked about a 1/4 oz a week of good 'ole south of the border commercial(in other words, low grade bulldonkey). I quit cold turkey August 16th.

Heres my test history. All test done with first void:

9/04 positive
9/11 positive
9/13 positive; drank a gallon or so of water over the afternoon and peed clear to get a negative(very faint line)
9/14 positive
9/16 positive

I've still got 4 test left, so I think I'll spread them out 4 days apart. The test date for the job is my perogative. All I have to do is call them when I'm ready(they don't know I'm trying to clean out ) Its going to be a DOT physical, so I'm not going to attempt a substitution. The companies policy on anything but a negative, such as a negative dillute or positive, is grounds for no hire. So I'm really paranoid about doing a dillute.

My questions is, am I going to be one of these guys that takes 105 days to clean out? The sooner I get to work the better, of course.. I'm just getting really frustrated with all this. I've been a good lad and not smoked and its pissing me off that I can't get clean.......

Anywho.. Thanks for anyones opinions..

9/20 positive(day 36)

Doesn't seem I can edit my above post..

I'm going to wait a full week for my next attempt.

well im not sure how long it will take you if your still testing positive after 36 days

then only thing i can think of is some of the "miracle detox" things try niacin a couple people i know took something like 500% of their daily value and tested negative after just 2 days of sobriety but then again my bros friend did that plus the miracle drinks and came up positive after a month of that so im not sure what to say just try those holistic medicines that claim to clean you out and mayb one will work for you (its about a 50/50 wether they will acutaly work or not) good luck and one of my friends did charcoals and now swears by them cleaned him out in just under a week (hes packen the pounds to and im pretty sure he has a slow metabolism)

[twin_rotor]

Couldn't wait a full week...

9/25 Positive(41 days)

[twin_rotor]

10/01(47 days) Positive. I think I'm finally getting close though. There is a faint line(very very faint), but I'm still leary..

[twin_rotor]

10/09(day 55) Negative.

Its a faint line, but not as faint as the one I took a week ago. You guys say that any line is negative, so I'll go with that.

If you're still worried, or just don't want to take the risk (because I don't know the sensitivity of home tests)... Take a peek at this thread.

Were you working out aerobically this entire time?

I'm having a similar situation as you. I've been clean 28 days (smoked non-stop before quitting)...and I've been eating a good diet for the past 7 days and running a half hour on an elliptical the past 7 days too. I took another home test this morning and I'm still coming up positive.

I've got another 26 days before I have to pee in a cup...but I'm still stressing pretty hard. I'm 5'4" and 130 lb's...I can't believe I'm still dirty.

Let me know d00d. Thanks.

I've thought of dilluting; I will dillute very mildly now that I'm getting a line on my home test. Its just too much to risk as I do not know if they will put the negative dillute on my DOT record(5 years).

Actually, no. I quit my bike rides about 2 weeks ago. I read an article here(can't remember who wrote it) about burning fat cells and THC metabolites released. In short, if you're burning fat cells, they are releasing metabolite. So I've started eating foods with high fat and waaay more calories than I normaly eat. I've been about as heavy as I am now for the past 15 years, so its safe to say that all my body fat is saturated with THC metabolites. This is all IMO, but I did draw my conclusion from the article I mentioned above.

Now all of this could be just coencidence as well. Plain and simple, all the metabolites could have finally been "released" from my body, or there just isn't enough being relased into my blood stream to be over 50ng/ml in my urinie. As most of the members here will tell you, its not an exact science. Everyones body is different. Again, do your own research. Do not drawn any conclusion that will jeopardise your situtation. Luckily I was fortunate enough to be able to postpone my test. The only sure way is to continue to test yourself and take the appropriate action when and if you are still positive(dillution, substitution).

Yeah...I've been doing nothing but reading on this stuff for the last month. Which is probably why I haven't posted anything until now, since I already had a lot of info. Coincidentally, your situation was really close to mine in some aspects so I figured I'd ask you about it.

I've actually read something similar, to stop working out 4-5 days before your test and during the 4-5 days to eat the fatty foods, so yeah, your right to that degree. I'm not sure if you need to stop weeks before, just the 4-5 days.

I'll probably keep working out and eating right for now...and pray that I'm clean soon. I do have 26 days still to get clean and I quit smoking 28 days ago...but man am I stressing. I'd like to have a couple weeks clean (under 50ng/ml that is) before my test deadline (clean according to home tests).

I have a pre-emp test for a job in a hospital where they said I have to take a "physical" and I asked what that meant...and the guy said "TB test, blood pressure, and urinalysis". I wish I knew if it was more than that...because if it's not I could probably substitute with synthetic...but I don't know if they are gonna check my junk and ask me to cough... Then where the heck would I hide the synthetic...yeah, right...no where...:: sigh ::

I hate this crap.
