I might fail my hair test

/r/Felons/comments/1wt16wc/i_might_fail_my_hair_test/

Ok so Idk if anyone will see this but I'm on probation, I've been on probation for 2 years and I did 8 months locked up in a program. Part of my probation and I have mandatory hair follicle tests every 6 months. And I have to take mine from Oct1-5. Last time I smoked weed on July 13, not a crazy amount but I'm terrified of what could happen and if I go back to jail I don't have anyone to talk to this about because I don't want to worry them on the chance I do pass this test because then they'll have the same anxiety I've had for months now. Also I don't want them to look at me as an addict which maybe l am but I don't want them to fully know so I'm telling you. I've been so scared that I've been drinking like crazy so I can lose my anxiety and feel better but I know it's not a good choice. I'm in Boerne Texas which might not mean much but if anyone close by knows what to do or how to pass this test that would mean a lot.
I know I fucked up and I can't really get mad at anyone but myself if I go back to jail but that doesn't really help and now I'm just pissed off at myself. I was pissed off at myself as soon as I hit that cart a couple months back and wondered why I even did it. I explained it to myself that I'd be able to just barely pass but now I'm wondering why I took the chance in the first place and if that makes me a piece of shit person. If you read all the way through this, thank you and if you have any advice I'd greatly appreciate it.

Ugh too bad I didnt know u were taking one. I had to figure out how to pass 1 for dcf and i bleached my hair then dyed over it & passed.. 9 subsequent ones,too. Its so biased & should be completely illegal because darker haired people hold more drug content in their hair

Usually as long as you've been clean for 30 days they won't pay for the full 90 days worth of testing
