    yea my first post was just asking how long it took to get the results too and someone did tell me the other day that has cdl's that is was harder to get a job if you smoked cigs so I was only asking and yes 20 years ago I failed a drug test and got a dui guess u have nothing to say about me having a job for n 10 straight years the same job huh which i didn't quit or just get fired I got laid off and I went right out and got another job too so im far from being the bum or junkie you think I am and yes you are correct for most of my life I did make bad choices but people can change you know I was never a junkie or an addict either just like people who go out on weekends and drink there not drunks

    I never called you a junkie or an addict sir...not once. Just commented on what you said. You should be proud of finally making the choice to help yourself and stop the smoking and the partying. Those will all turn out to be very good choices. I wish you only the best in your search for a good paying job in the future. Keep all of us here at TTR posted as to your progress....Again best of luck to you..

    no your right you never called me a junkie or and addict at all but you sure made it sound like that is what you thought I have stopped the partying and the weed but I still smoke cigs and that seem to be the hardest of them all to stop the cigs I mean

    I'll give you one more word of advice....stop the cigarettes...my wife gripped at me for over 20 years to quit....in Oct. of 2005 ...the 22nd to be exact , I had a heart attack...had to have 2 stents placed in arteries...that was my wake-up call. Don't let it be yours....PLEASE!!! heart ATTACKS HURT...AND ARE SCARY THINGS TO GO THROUGH...

    Well they can smoke cigarettes now --but i am sure they will get around to ending that soon.
    Couple of lawsuits from non smokers --and "boom" every pickle park and truck stop will be full all day long . Sorry i hope i didnt start a trend.

    I'm just wondering about something, this by the way isn't directed to the OP.

    what makes people that this industry isn't going to do drug testing, didn't they hear that cannabis was illegal?
