    EtG test after extremely heavy binge
    I am hoping DrBill 100 will be able to answer my question.
    I am a 21 y/o 6' 3", 200 lb male college athlete. I am also a recovering alcoholic, and after 11 months of continuous sobriety, I relapsed and had an episode of heavy drinking for about four days straight. I consumed roughly a fifth of vodka each day for those four days, my last drink being on Monday morning, about eight a.m. I found out I will be submitting a EtG ua the following Monday, a week from this heavy drinking, which is about 168 hours. Any opinions on whether I should be in the clear? I know that 80 hours is sort of an anomaly but after such heavy drinking I can only help but wonder. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Following this slip I plan to get back into recovery and focus on sobriety, it is just not worth it to take the first drink. Thanks!

    You should be fine.

    Learn from this and don't make the mistake again.

    I don't know if you read my post in entirety- I said that this was a wake up call and I'm re-focusing on my recovery

    I think what odin was trying to imply is that it's admirable that you're getting back on the wagon and refocusing on your recovery but do you know how or why you fell off the wagon and how you're NOT going to make that mistake again? Everyone makes mistakes and falls when they don't want to. It is only bad when you learn NOTHING from the mistake. So you fell off the wagon, what are you going to do to not do that if presented with the same circumstances.

    I admire your strength and willpower. Staying sober after being an alcoholic for that long takes real perseverance.
