Yes, ladies and gentlemen. I was checking my results on affinity and my last test result is positive for alcohol. The problem is, I didn't drink. The only thing I can think might have caused it was some lemon tahini dressing at a vegetarian restaurant I ate at the night before. I've had the same dressing in the past and never had a problem.
The killer in all this is that I am due to complete monitoring in four days. Yes.
Never had any positives during monitoring, nothing but a dilute specimen. I'm not drinking, not using, nothing. And bing.
*Sigh*
I haven't heard from my case manager yet. I'm trying to stay calm and think. Stick to my routine and not worry. I know I do have options, I just can't believe this. After everything I have done, all the scrupulous watching everything I do, eat, drink, and walking on eggshells...BUT we will just wait and see.
I dunno know on the law school. I think I would have a hard time defending someone that I knew darn well was guilty of some heinous crime (child abuse and the like). On the other hand, I am not a fan of the "lock 'em up and toss the key" style of "justice" either. Too many of us here have been victims of that. I would wind up being the pro-bono, crusader rabbit type, and if i think I have trouble paying my bills now.....
I just want to be able to take care of myself (ie: work) so that I can take care of others. Is that so much to ask?
Still waiting for the MRO to review and my caseworker to get back with me on it.
Everytime there's a new post on this thread, I get excited I'll see a post from you saying "it's worked out and I'm finished the program" I am pulling for you!

Thank you so much!
The support from all of you is a big part of why I am able to stay sane.

Update:
Still waiting. I messaged my caseworker today requesting an update on the status of my MRO review, asking about the need to continue checking in, and reminding of the fact that my contract expired one month ago.
One month. Sheesh this has taken a long time. But I'm not giving up.
Thank you all for hanging in there with me. It means much more than you know.
Oops just realized you messaged. Probably haven't heard back. I wonder what is taking precedence over your issue. I mean really...this should be a priority for them
I really wondering if these people are trained in stalling tactics. Y'know..."let's doing everything we can, legal or not, to extend this as far as we can." I've zip progress on mine. Just sitting and waiting and waiting and waiting....

I actually took the LSAT before, and still considering law school. Gotta tie up loose ends. Cats, most definitely, and several on here.
