Thanks everyone, for your input and support. I have been thinking a lot about what happened in the last week and I have come to the conclusion that I do need to bring it up with the doc at my next appointment. Reading your replies really just solidifies my thoughts. I think it’s important to talk to him about it again, when the shock has worn off and I am not so upset. I just want to reiterate to him that I have not slipped, if for no other reason than that it is important to me. I spent the first few days researching anecdotal evidence about false positives and positives caused by other drugs (namely dextromethorphan which was in the cold medicine I had been taking the week I tested). Then I realized that the most important thing is that I know that I wasn’t lying to myself or anyone else about using. I can’t waste my time and energy arguing something I have no way to prove. I wasn’t penalized and I should be thankful for that. Of course, I am, for the first time, dreading going back for next appointment because I’ve never before been afraid that my test would come back positive and now I’m worried it could happen again.
Thanks again everyone.
