1. And just like that... it's over.

   TexasMel replied to TexasMel's topic in Recovery

   Honestly, I never had a false positive. I used hand sanitizer every day and soy sauce with Chinese food. BUT, I also never did a Peth test. Mine were all urine. I feel... If you're clean, you can prove it. Always. Best of luck!

2. And just like that... it's over.

   TexasMel posted a topic in Recovery

   I finished my monitoring today. 3 years. TPAPN. Very anticlimatic, if I do say so myself. Guess I will have an everything bagel tomorrow to celebrate. That's the biggest thing I've missed. If you just started... it's doable. Very doable. Just t...

3. TPAPN and Peth test

   TexasMel replied to TexasMel's topic in Recovery

   Three times... wow! My biggest question is, How much did it cost you?

4. TPAPN and Peth test

   TexasMel posted a topic in Recovery

   I know TPAPN can use the Peth test but does anyone have first hand knowledge of them actually using it? I'm almost done... about a month left in my contract. Whoo hoo I have a large purchase I am wanting to make and I'm wondering if I should go ahe...

5. IPN blood test

   TexasMel replied to Dizneeeee's topic in Recovery

   Does TPAPN do blood test? I've never heard of anyone getting one.

6. How much will your employer know?

   TexasMel replied to StanleyJ's topic in Recovery

   My employer only knows I'm in monitoring. She knows NO details. And a good manager, won't ask why.

8. Affinity abnormal Opinion 4

   TexasMel replied to Big Blondie's topic in Recovery

   I had a test post as abnormal. My CM said it was dilute. Only thing that happened was I received an email.

9. First source solutions

   TexasMel replied to Takethatfordata's topic in Recovery

   I recently went 7 weeks without testing. Drove we nuts towards the end... I was about to email my CM. I thinks it's all normal.

10. Entering inpatient rehab today...good vibes please

    TexasMel replied to DistressedRN's topic in Recovery

    I, too, left behind my babies when I went inpatient. Best decision I ever made. Unlike you, I was unable to stay clean on my own and needed to go inpatient to quit. I wish you the best of luck. It goes by quick and the little ones don't even reme...

11. Trying to find work

    TexasMel replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Recovery

    When I started my job hunt, I only applied to restriction/monitoring friendly places. As suggested above, the SNF/LTC and dialysis route. I only applied to 2 places and landed a job in dialysis. Do lots of research on this site and practice how yo...

12. Past DUI

    TexasMel replied to mosweetp's topic in Recovery

    Yeah, after reading and being a part of this group I realized how rare it was to NOT have to do TPAPN from that DWI. Jokes on me though... cause I'm in TPAPN now. :-/

13. Past DUI

    TexasMel replied to mosweetp's topic in Recovery

    I'm in Texas and did a declaratory statement to the BON here prior to getting my license in 2011. The DWI was from 2007. The BON had no problem with letting me sit for my exam. No monitoring program or anything. Took them forever to get back with...

14. Seriously?! Grrrr.

    TexasMel replied to TexasMel's topic in Recovery

    í ½í±† This is my biggest fear. The first day of my period is out of control. And I get tested by a dude. He's going to have to deal with it one day soon, I'm sure.

15. Seriously?! Grrrr.

    TexasMel posted a topic in Recovery

    I just need to complain for one second... why do I always get picked to test on my day off?! I have 3 small children, 2 of which I have to get watched now so I can go pee in a cup. The oldest is in pre-school. Ugh, so annoying. Bonus... it's in t...
