Recovery- PEth test

Nurses Recovery

Published

Hi all, I am in a recovery program (DOC: Alcohol) and was selected for a PEth test today. I have only been in the program for a few months and slipped up 11 days ago. I had 4.5 light beers. I'm pretty stressed because it's not likely that I will pass. What happens when you fail? 

Please save the lectures.

How did this end up for you? Did you pass?

I guess so! I never got a call or anything!

Would you be willing to talk outside of this platform? I could give you my email. Having someone else in this program to talk to would be amazing

Would you be willing to talk to my on a different platform? I could use a friend who is in the program and understands the stress. I could give you my email.

It goes back 28 days.  You should be OK if you don't drink.  It will go down over 28 days.

Thank you for responding. I know it goes back 28 days, but my question is, when do you get your first Peth test once you start probation?

You will never be sure when you will get one.
