My peth was 135. I used alcohol. No getting out of it. It was Board Prep in Tampa. The evaluator advised I do partial hospitalization. I did 6 weeks at Talbott in Atlanta. I just returned home yesterday. RPP told me that they would turn everything from my treatment over to the BON and they would decide when I can go back to work. Hopefully it will be real soon. I haven't worked since Feb 1st.

I'm so happy for you! I know how relieved you are ? Just stay clear of everything until your monitoring contract is done. It's not worth all the anxiety.

Even if you drank in Dec and not again until the 2 drinks in February, you will pass. It's going to be OK. But like I said, just don't drink or do anything you're not supposed to. I wish I would have done this but here I am 2.5 yrs in and I failed my first test. The program will eventually catch you. Post an update when you know the result. And congrats on your new job!

So you haven't had anything to drink other than the 2 drinks since October? If this is the case, you're going to be fine. Try not to stress about it. I know thats easier said than done but I guarantee you will pass. Just don't do it again. These monitoring programs are tricky....believe me, I know. I thought I could cheat the system and boom!....I got a peth test just like that and failed. Just go through the program, don't relapse! It's not worth the stress of losing your livelihood. I hope this helps.

When was the 1st peth test? If you had two drinks on the 14th of February and have another peth test coming up, I'm thinking you're gonna pass. If it has been a month or more between drinking episodes, you should pass. 2 drinks 2 weeks before will not show up.

Is or has anybody been in the SCRPP (South Carolina) monitoring program and failed a PETH test? I have tested totally clean for 2.5 years until my last PETH test. Since failing, RPP asked me to voluntarily refrain from working until I was evaluated. I have had my evaluations from a place called Board Prep Recovery. They said they have two weeks to decide what treatment I will have to do. Also, I've never tested positive for any drugs. I just had a hair test and passed that. I'm wondering what to expect. Please, no judgmental comments. I know I did this to myself by making a bad choice; but this is my livelihood and I am scared and worried.
