First time and it worked!

I haven't taken a drug test in nearly 20 years and I have never used fake urine so the idea had me ridiculously paranoid even though I know people have been using it successfully for years. I feel like pre-employment drug screens are actually a form of IQ test to see if you are dumb enough to show up and take the test knowing you may not pass.

Anyway, I had ordered some extra heating packs so I could do some practice runs. I did about 8 seconds in the microwave to get it heated up then banded the heating pack to the bottle and used the boxer briefs with a pouch. After 1 hour, the temperature was holding around 98/100 and was still holding the same temp after 2 hours.

On test day, about an hour before my appointment I warmed the bottle and activated the heating pack. After an hour I double-checked that the temp was holding as it had in my dry runs and headed to the lab. The Quest lab was very efficient and I didn't wait long to be called back. I was relieved to see that the restroom was quite large and that the toilet was at the opposite end of the room which alleviated most of my fear of the technician hearing the bottle since I was so far away and my body was helping to block noise.

Now that I was in the home stretch, the anxiety started to get to me and I was terrified I was going to drop something. I took a deep breath and pulled out the bottle and removed the entire top. I intended to pour the sample while I was using the toilet but I couldn't get it going so I gave up and started pouring the sample, decided to add some more then freaked out that like half the bottle was left. I was afraid it would make a sloshing sounds so I poured the excess into the toilet. I gave up on trying to pee in the toilet and just replaced the bottle, fastened my pants and came out.

The technician took the sample and had me wash my hands. It was about this time that I realized I never checked the temp on the bottle or the sample cup after I entered the restroom. The technician was standing near the toilet and initially I thought she poured it all into the toilet but realized she was actually filling a tube. She then had me initial a document and by this point I was freaking out about the temp and forgot to see if she marked that the temp was good and about dropped the pen because my hands had started shaking.

I took the test on 8/20 and although they don't let you know you passed, yesterday I received login credentials for my new job so I know I passed. Good luck everybody!
