help... got a question
 

i would know if i'd taken drugs right? cause i found out today that i need to take a drug test before i can get this job. and the appts tomorrow. but. now i'm scared i'm addicted to drugs. i would know if i'd taken drugs? i think. i can't remember taking any. i don't really think i ever have. ever. but. could i be addicted to drugs and not know it? i mean they must think i am if they want me to take a drug test right?

i'm really sorry if i offended anyone by asking this. or by the tone of it or anything. i'm just very freaked out and figured i would probably get the most accurate information on this board........

I've heard that the only drug you really have to worry about with such drug tests (usually they just take an urine sample) is pot and surely you'd remember smoking that? I wouldn't worry if I were you. :-)

Some jobs require a mandatory drugs test, so don't worry about them thinking you are on drugs, it most likely just a requirement they have to do. Ticking the boxes sort of thing. For example, my brothers girlfriend recently applied for a job at the local police office (answering phones and things) and they stated it was a requirement for her to go through a drugs test. It's nothing personal, it's just that some jobs need you to do it.
Try not to worry yourself a lot, take some nice deep calming breaths. It doesn't sound like you have any experience of drugs, more that your anxiety is taking over and confusing you. I'm sure your appointment will be fine. It sounds like quite a stressful situation for you right now, so try to keep in mind some calming methods that work for you ok?
Take care
