It was a good sunny day, and a very nice lady called in to get help in getting a job. She was hired to a new place that did pre-employment drug testing, she was very excited about it and was willing to do anything to pass that test.

- I smoke every day, or every night I should say, before I go to bed. And I have no idea if they going to give a urine test or a swab test. I think they do both, or either… I’m not sure.

- How much time do you have before the test?
- About a week or so. I don’t have to go right away, I’ve got at least a week of training.

- All right, since you do have time, start taking capsules to lower your toxin level, and then on your test day take a fast detox kit and that will conceal the remains of the toxins in your urine; and in case it is a swab test, you can use toxin-cleansing mouthwash right before you go in, and that will take care of it.

- That sounds great! Do I have to stop smoking meanwhile?

- Yes, absolutely! You cannot clean your body and contaminate it at the same time.

That was that; she placed the order, I made sure that all the instructions are clear, and didn’t think that I would hear again from her. Three or four weeks later we received a package back from her, containing just a mouthwash. When we contacted to confirm that she wants to return it for a refund, we found out that she didn’t go to her test at all:

- Yeah, I was taking the capsules, and everything was good, but couple days before the test I got so nervous that I had to smoke… and then the day after that I smoked too. So when my test day came, I tested myself after the drink and I failed. I couldn’t reschedule the test, so I just called in and refused the position. … I know, I should’ve stayed quit, but I just couldn’t help myself.

There was nothing else to say, we understood each other – she made her choices, but unfortunately it was too late for us to help.
