New to testing recovery trek help

Published

My husband just started his first job since his license has been reinstated. He had to sign up with recovery trek and we have cleaned out our entire house to prevent a possibile accidental exposure, we read the letter about recovery trek now using a more sensitive test... My question is mainly about vanilla extract he came shopping with me at a whole foods and not thinking we grabbed cold brew mocha coffees in a can we each had one I checked the ingredients after the fact and I didn't see any vanilla extract but it has me wondering has anyone gotten a false positive from vanilla extract I know it's on the list but has anyone eaten something with it and passed ? Or had anyone accidentally eaten vanilla extract and failed ,from what food ? Our sons birthday is next week and I noticed vanilla ice cream is out for my husband... Lastly what is a quality deoderent without alcohol that works as he sweats a lot? This is all so new to us I'm trying to support him and it just seems as if the accidental exposure possiblity is everywhere ? any advice would be greatly appreciated as since yesterday I have read more than I ever cared to know about vanilla extract and alcohol testing ?

I've been on this program for 3 years and got nailed with many option 10's and 3's I would get the blood test twice a month, right after my blood test. I would go out to the bar and have no more. Then seven mixed drinks and I passed every blood test doing this except my first one I failed, because I didn't know about the peth test and it was never explained to me how it worked. So I drank about a half a bottle of vodka, six days prior to me, failing the peth test the path test is not as sensitive as people think it only tests for heavy drinking. You have to flood your bloodstream with ethanol. To cause damage to the red blood cells, they look for damaged red blood cells. If you don't drink enough to damage them, you will pass a peth it takes about twelve days to clean out your body of the damage red blood cells.You know, if you have a fast metabolism and workout. Recently at the end of my program, I just got hit with an option 9 and failed it, and all I took were my prescription meds, and the over the counters. I've been taking this entire program. So now I'm worried as to what I could have came up positive for because the woman at recovery trek would not tell me exactly what drug I failed for but she said, it's definitely one of the over the counters, whether I believe her or not, that's another story I'm about to find out in the next couple days.

What's option 9?  Benadryl dextromethorphan are banned. So is unisom. Sucks that you are so close to finishing and get hit with this 

I'd suggest no more alcohol just in case. You got lucky with the alcohol you had. 

What state

Please post an update after you learn your fate.

Yes I've been taking nyquil doxalymine and dyphenhydramine this whole time and it never tested positive that is why I am wondering if this option 9 tests for that because options 1,2,3 and 6 most definitely don't because I've been taking unisom every night for 3 years and all of a sudden poof I'm positive on option 9 which was an 80 dollar test

And I'm from Pennsylvania and it never showed in option 10 which is a blood test so I find this strange

Did they know? Is there alcohol in nyquil? No unison or benadryl allowed.  If it's one of those I'd just be honest and say you didn't know.

No ZZZ quilt has alcohol not nyquil I've been very cautious

OK then it's the unisom or benadryl.  Again be honest and say you didn't know.  People apparently abuse both.  I really hope they give you a break.  Glad you changed your name too.
