PETH testing for Affinity

First, I wish you the best and hope you continue with recovery. Important, your wrote that you "have" been sober for 4 months. That no longer applies. It's correct to write, you "HAD" been sober. You just drank 12 days ago, so not really sober, sober, but for 12 days, you are back on the train and doing well, haven't drank anything and congrats. You got this.

Chance are low, but not so low you have nothing to worry about. You are small and took one shot. Still, one shot 12 days is Usually.....Usually not enough to trigger a positive, but a positive is Absolutely not out of the ballpark and very possible. I would guess, 1 in 5 chance of a positive. 4 out of 5 chance no positive.

If you are an alcoholic, be far, far more concerned about you having that one shot than you should be about the test being positive.

I would agree with SheelaDavis and you should be okay. Just to be detail-oriented though, your shot was around or less than 2oz or 50ml? And what was the percentage/proof of alcohol?

I had to be put on a monitoring program because I had cannabis on me 7+ years ago. I've never had an alcohol problem, just have to abstain for monitoring which sucks. But I messed up because I wanted to take a small birthday shot LOL.

Got it. That's why I wrote, IF.....you are an alcoholic.

If you have not drank for 4+ weeks prior to the >2oz birthday shot and it was 40%, then you are fine. The peth after 12 days is negative.
