Please Help Someone...
I am freaking out right now, my husband has been waiting for a new job to call him, but the catch is, we've been fighting an oc addiction, the last time he did one was today and they want to drug test him on friday. we are going to try to push it to next week if we can but does anyone have any advice on how long oc's are in your system for, he also smokes pot about once or twice a week, so my questions are about how long to clear your system of this stuff and does any one know of anything he can take to move the process along faster......please.....we need this so bad.
HI there! I don't see my post but I wrote a long one with instructions to help your husband with his test.It could just be my computer so if you don't see my long-winded post (apologies to all for that...it's just that this was the first time I knewI could help someone after receiving so much help myself from you all and I just wanted to help...), then please e-mail me and I will absolutely re-write it for you. It will work, I did it once 3 years ago, and it's cheap, easy and quick.

Everyone is right about how long pot stays in the body BUT I do know of a way to mask it for an employment screen...I know this because I did it myself 3 years ago. I'm not even a pot-smoker normally but it was summer, and friendsrented a house on Fire Island and what can I say, monkey see, monkey do. This is very easy and cheap. Here's the formula:
1) For three days you will "creatine load". Go to GNC and get powder creatine. It's something athletes and body builders use. It's good for your muscles and will not harm you. Read the directions on the bottle for "loading". I think it's a tablespoon a day for 3 days. I mixed it in with juice but you can use anything, it has NO taste whatsoever.
2) On day 4 I went in for the test. Before doing so, starting that very morning, you want to void your pee, a few times (for me it was 3) meaning water it down. Drink as much water as you can without making yourself sick. I drank 3 16 oz. bottles in an hour and a half.
Now, if you have diluted urine most places will require you to return for another test. Afterall I know that normally for me by 2-3 pm my urine is clear on any given day because I drink a lot of water througout the day. Creatine counters this by making it appear as though you have proteins in the sample you give the testers. Chemcally it won't appear to be plain water because of the creatine.
3) In addition, take 1-2 multivitamins about an hour or so before the test. This will siply give the urine color and vitamins, obviously. It just helps the sample appear as if it isn't just water, when it really is.
4) I took a OTC drug test before I went it. SO I tested negative on that and then booked to the clinic for the real test that moment.
Passed with flying colors.
I know how important getting that job is! Good luck to you guys!!
If I can help in any other way, feel free to drop me a line anytime: ***@****

he does have these pills that he's supposed to take 7 then drink 24oz's of water then tke another seven and repeat that process like 5 times and it's supposed to clear him up. I just dont want to put all my faith in that ya know. I think I'm most scared about stopping for good. I know it has to happen, i want it to happen but it hasnt happened. Its my fault. and i know that. I just wish i could go to sleep and wake up and have this nightmare behind me. I just want to move on. But I can never seem to get past day 4or 5.....
I am having the worst anxiety right now. I know this might sound selfish but I dont know if I can stop. It's gotten better I guess, Ive only been doing them 1-3 times a week compared to everyday. Im so scared right now. We are so financially strapped and we need this job. Its part of our plan for our new clean life together but I didnt think it was going to happen this quick. He's going to try to push the test back to next week but at the same time he doesnt want to look fishy by pushing off his drug test ya know. I know this needs to come to an end, and I really want it to, I want to lead a normal life again so badly, I just cant get past that five day mark. i feel sick to my stomach because I'm so scared right now. Now, if he used suboxone, that will show up as an opiate too right?
that would be a good question for Dutchess about the Suboxone.. I have no idea if it shows up or not..
Oc's stay in the body 72 hours and THC is in there depending on body size and fat cells any where from 16-45 days the less fat the better---THC clings to fat cells and takes long to rid. Is there any "head" shops in your area? My that is a old timers word----let me rephase is there any shops that sell bongs and smoking stuff??? If so go in there and ask for a test true kit. They go by different names but test tru & tru test are the most popular. It tastes HORRIBLE but it works I promise you that. Word of advise though is that if it does not include a vitamin B complex pill go buy some because that is very important. That is what turn the urine yellow and not crystal clear when he pees.
I personally don't know of stuff to help his clean out his system... maybe others do.. the pot is gonna be the tough one since it sticks in fat cells..
Making it past 4-5 days is a huge start.. most people can't make it that far.. You need to set up a way to get past that stage since you already know its a problem.. Can you go to outpatient Treatment?? Can you get into a support group or NA or AA?? What about addiction counseling?? If you keep saying you can't make it past that stage then you won't.. Start giving yourself a chance to try and set up ways to help yourself..
I am actually in the process of finding a therapist right now. The week before Easter, my husband and I confessed to our families about our problem. I went through 11 days of hell. Its been since then that we've been doing pills about every 3 or 4 days. We've been trying to keep brakes in between using. I dont know if that will make a difference. Probablly just wishfull thinking. I know this is the right thing to do for our family. We have two small children that deserve better then this. That is why this new job is so important. We are the jerks that are screwing it up. Sorry, I know I keep geting down on myself, but I need to hear it. I just hope hope things will work in our favor. Is that to much to ask for? Just a little luck......
You are kinda beating your self up.. if thats what you need to get better than so be it.. but give yourself a bit of a break so you can access whats going on.. and create a plan. If you get down on yourself too much you wont have the strength to quit.. so believe in yourself.. you are already down to using every few days.. give yourself a pat on the back for making an effort and starting in the right direction
I know. Thanks FLaddict. I have to just stay focused. I'm taking this semester off from school ( i work part time, go to school full time and have 2 small kids). I have some things I need to get organized, like my life and my house. we moved back in march and im still not fully unpacked. I will definitely be posting alot more often also.
opiates metabolites usually stay in the system a maximum of 72 hours, however marijuana's metabolites can stay in the sysyem for up to a month. Does your husband have a prescription for the oxy's? Anything he has a prescription for, legally, the job cannot count as a dirty test. (there are different loopholes depending on the state on which you live) I know a lot of people will get to this post about getting it out of his system, I have to go for a bit and will be back online soon.
