how can u pass it?
how can u pass it?
My AB has been clean for the past 2 month. But there are some days when I don't like his pupils, there are small but at the end of the evening they look fine again, So I take him and we drive to the store to get a drug test and he passes it.
Is he clean? or is he doing drugs again? If he is doing drugs then how can he pass the test?
His drug of choice was heroin.

Drug tests, when not given by a professional, can be faked quite easily. I've never seen the point of testing at home, they may not be accurate and the don't solve the problem for either party. And they are demeaning.
Angel, is this relationship working for you? Clean or not, is there anything he is bringing to the relationship? You don't have to tell me, but they are questions worth considering.

Not sure if a person could maintain a high on vicodin after getting used to heroin but I have been told that on certain drug tests it will not show positive for hydrocodone. I have also heard that some addicts are abusing suboxone. Not sure how true that is and I do not know if that would show on a drug test.
There are many ways to pass a drug test. People inject "clean" urine in their bladders with a hypo so they can test clean. They even have very realistic fake penises that hold a clean urine sample in a reservoir, so you could watch him pee and he'd still pass. Only a professional that is used to dealing with drug addicts daily can stop cheating - and even then not all the time.
Not to be so blunt but unless you hold the penis yourself then he can dilute the sample, put water on the test, use someone else's urine that he carried around with him in a balloon all day to stay warm and the possibilities are endless.
We test on my job constantly and are still baffled by how addicts alter the test or at least try. We have had to get personal on some and stand there watching their personal business.
It's a dirty job but someone has to do it. LOL.
I agree with Ann, what's coming out of this relationship if you have to drive around to pharmacies and test your BF?? Is this worth the headache??
Glad to see you back on SR! Missed ya.

I realized the problem for me wasn't so much whether there was use or not; it was how crazy it was making me. It's certainly easy enough to know when someone has the nods, but when it was more subtle -0 like the pupil change you mention, I found myself constantly on edge; constantly looking; obsessing about it, etc. and not getting any enjoyment out of anything in my life. I missed many enjoyable moments because I was stuck in what if's. That's why I had to work on me and leave the rest to seeing how actions spoke.
Hope you are doing okay...Glad to see you.

Another way is to sit down (TMI ahead) like he was peeing and subtly dip the cup in toilet h20 to mix with his actual urine. It dilutes it enough so that a typical d/s test won't pick it up. I agree with the others, watch his actions, his pupils etc.
Yes we did, everything was perfect! We had a blast.
I do get random drug testing from him and he doesn't mind them at all.
I guess I kind of moved back in with him, all of my stuff is still at my parents, but like work clothes are at his house. It is way easier for me that way and so much closer to work.
The only thing is we having right now , are his eyes. I don't know, he said that he was taking some cold medicine?! Can your pupils look smalled because of that?
Thank you everyone for your answers.
I really don't think that he fakes his drug tests. If I do ask for one, I make sure that its random and thats he would pee outside or somewhere where there is no access to water or any other fluids. I'm pretty sure that he is not mixing his pee with anything.

Did you go on your honeymoon?
We went to one of the NA meetings this Sunday, he liked it. He said that the meeting that he went to before didn't give a crap about him and that this place actually cares and the do work the steps. And also for his probation he needs to go to IOP classes for 3 month so he started that yesterday. So i guess he is behaving. The only thing I'm worried about is his pupils. There are no other signs, thank god.
Oh and while we were in Europe he got Baptized. :praying
Ann, Yes it is working, but only if he's clean. He is really trying , just like all of the addicts.
After we got back, he did get 2 cars that he put for sale, he's also looking for a job, going to interview. He fixed my car, it saved me $1300 to change Brake booster.

I just want to caution you here....He is either gonna use or not gonna use. There is NOTHING you can do about it. But by you giving him a drug test and then questioning whether it is accurate, wondering if it could be this or wondering if it could be that, questioning whether he is using another substance WILL, WITHOUT A DOUBT drive you CRAZY. That is a fact. Plain and simple. I can understand wanting to stand by his side and continue in your relationship. Believe me I get that. But you really will most certainly drive yourself crazy doing this.
Accept the fact that you have no control over whether he is gonna use or not and focus all of that energy in something positive for you. Trust me when I say this. Been there done that.

It sounds to me like your bf is serious about recovery. In your other post, it seemed that he was trying to taper too quickly off the methadone in order to go on your honeymoon and that maybe slipped him up. I thought that was so unfortunate. I hope things will work out for you.

But if he is using i want to be out. thats why im checking. Not because i would want him to go to rehab and stuff. If he is using drugs again i want to know that.

Basically, if he is using again YOU WILL KNOW. Its only a matter of time.
WE will not work, YOU have NOTHING to do with HIS recovery.
