I’m really upset! Yesterday my tox came back positive for thc and benzodiazepines. I knew I didn’t use so I demanded one oral and one urine tox. It was done yesterday evening and the urine tox was negative but I’m still being punished, I have to miss a day of school where I’m training to become a peer advocate, I have to stay home today until the tox comes back from the lab. I feel like I’m being punished for something I didn’t do. I’m hurt, angry and depressed over this. Can anyone offer me done advice because now I am having urges to use. I could loose custody of my son, loose my housing and be on a 30 day restriction that’s what was explained to me yesterday. I feel like I’m loosing it and I don’t want to do something stupid

My advice is to breathe deeply and let it all go. You don’t have a choice (powerless) over this, however you do have a choice over how you choose to react. Recognize the anger and resentment towards the system and the consequences of this disease, and then do your best on refocusing your efforts to choosing to feel peace. It’ll be ok. While you didn’t plan to have today off, choose to use it wisely. Maybe go to a morning or midday meeting that you usually don’t have time to go to. Make the best of it Rosey, and a have a sober day :pray::peace_symbol:❤‍🩹

If you can, watch “Vice” season 9 episode 14. It talks about how drug testing companies have like 30% failure rates. They are private companies that are for profit. Taking over the testing industry. That’s an incredible failure rate and people in sobriety are getting locked up right and left. People say the health industry is the largest yet it’s actually law enforcement industry in this country. We love making people’s lives miserable. It’s our M.O.
