Anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks depending on how backed up or not backed up the lab is at that given moment. The longest I had when I was in monitoring was 15 days for the test to post negative in my...
It makes sense if you do not have the money to wait until starting monitoring. That's reasonable. I think 40K is too high. I think it's truly more like 25K over 5 years, but it does vary. As for...
Going to repeat. Get into monitoring now and get the clock started. You can enter monitoring on your own, voluntary and when VA finally comes around to discipline, the time that you started monitoring...
1. If you are not in a monitoring program and you are taking methadone, then you SHOULD be in a monitoring program. I don't like corrupt monitoring programs and BON's, but yea, even with my distaste...

Bottom line is....you are a narcissist and when narcissists step up on the forum to get their narcissist ego fix with false info, thats where people like me step in. Spread false info, and you will...

Bottom Line. You are wrong. You made a statement that basically stated, "all you have to do is not drink alcohol and you are fine" That statement is false. It is MOSTLY true, but because it's not...

Research for yourself, and YES, perfume applied in moderate to heavy amounts (Depends on the alcohol content of the perfume) to the skin absolutely can raise ETG above cutoff levels, as can vanilla...

I agree ewth your premise, but you are too far the other way. Answers are usually found in the middle. Your statement, "Just Don't Drink Alcohol," is simply not accurate. There are studies where...
