I dropped out of diversion in June 2005 and have heard NOTHING since then. For over 2 years I have dreaded the daily trip to the mailbox anticipating the "dreaded letter". Somewhere along the line in someone's post here the 2 year statute of limitations was mentioned. Any thoughts? curlyquiz <curlyquiz@...> wrote: Boy, I feel your pain . I did 3 years in Diversion, was getting ready to ask for transition when I

started having positives. I dropped out in August 2005; I know an investigation has been done (May of 2006) but have heard nothing yet--now it's 2008. Talk about antsy!! It was my logic also that we would have discredited this test before I ever got called into the AG, but now it is anyone's guess. Besides, I heard from someone--maybe even in this group, I don't remember--who said that when she finally was called to talk to the Attorney Generals' office, they would hear NOTHING about ETG--said it was irrelevant, and they were proceeding on the original complaint as though she had never been in Diversion at all.

agree eva it is all false it simply is just how they think.guilty until proven innocent..makes my blood boil too...curlyquiz <curlyquiz@...> wrote: The problem with THAT, though is that GOOD reports don't count for squat!! I had all my meetings, therapists appts, never missed work or was late, had letters from my therapists, etc---they didn't give a shit.

It was me who had that encounter with the AG's office. I have my probation

orientation on Jan 14th. I am having a really hard time right now, getting

really bad bouts of anxiety/depression. I have never had either, so am just

trying to recognize its situational and will pass, but the thought of taking the

EtG again has me scared to death! I have never wanted to be anything but a

nurse, absolutely love what I do, but honestly if I could make a living at

anything else, I would do it in a heartbeat. Just putting that thought to paper

has me crying, I NEVER thought it could come to this. What this test has done to

us is unforgivable, and the fact that those in power who know there is an issue

continue to allow its use is beyond irresponsible.

I agree. I too had 100% compliance, never missed a call, report, meeting. To

consider behaviors, they would have to treat us individually, which would

require an effort they are simply not willing to make. It is easier to lump us

all into a big group of addicts/liars, and rely on a test to tell them what they

need to know. My case manager at Maximus often talked to me for several minutes

before she realized she had called the wrong person!! How on earth, could she

know how well my recovery was going, she didn't even know who the hell I was! I

don't say this to justify what they do, it is wrong, and must be changed, but

for now it is our awful reality.

Thank you for the pep talk. I had a total of 4 positives, one in Dec. 2005 and

three in a clump starting in June 2006. The one in June was over 11,00! Having

had gastric bypass, the only thing I can take for pain is Tylenol! Guess I will

have to suck it up, and hope for the best. How ironic that Tylenol is on the

list of things that " are OK. " Conspiracy theory, the BRN members have stock in

the drug labs so try to get positives to force us to test more often, and line

their pockets!! I know not likely but I have learned one thing well in this

program, the truth is only truth when told by someone who has never made a

mistake!!

And neither will I!! So in addition to incredible stress, false accusations, and general emotional torture, we can add inability to use anything to relieve genuine physical pain that we may have now and again. Not to much to ask for the honor of keeping our license which we already earned by our adherence to the "written" rules of diversion/probation.

Great Point Guys. The ACLU passed on this for some strange reason before .Perhaps in light of the supreme court decision recently someone in the 9th circut (maybe tracey?) should contact them again..would not hurt to ask.., I talked to my goat Earnest. Farm animals know better than to fornicate with boards... Too many MTD's(mentally transmitted diseases). Earnest howvever is pretty horny.

Hey all.. I need to know exactly when Calif. began using the EtG test. I have

been asked by the Director of Consumer Affairs to send her all my letters, files

etc. She seems to be very interested in this issue. It may be another false hope

but I will do as asked and pray, ask that you all do the same.

I think it was in the spring of 2004 many doctors about to leave

diversion suddenly found themselves back in because of positive etg’s.

Who has the right to check for Etg? I had a glass of wine three nights ago and was told everyone was to get a UA "work related" I passed and she did not..

The statue of limitations applies to the criminal side of things. As for the

BRN, did you receive anything from them either before or during diversion that

stated a complaint had been made against you? It would have been something to

the effect of " If you complete the BRN diversion program this issue will be

overlooked " am paraphrasing here but you get the drift. If you did not, your

facility probably did not report the issue to the BRN, and you would be

considered a " Self referral " which means that you do not have to complete

diversion, and the BRN can't touch you! I hope that is the case for you.

Sorry folks but the California BRN has recognized the

EtG test as the " Gold Standard " . Get used to it- it is

not going away.

The only way that your employer would use an EtG test is if you are prohibited from drinking. Dept. of Transportation does not use EtG. Are you under some sort of "contract" to not drink?

Thankfully we don't all have the defeatist attitude you have! Let me see,

Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania... all held Etg as the gold standard and

because of the persistence and fortitude of others, have stopped using it. I

will not get used to it, and I am confident that even the Ca. BRN will

eventually see the light. I suppose this site has not official requirements for

participation, but would like to think it is a place we who have been wronged by

this test can go for support and hope. If you don't feel that way, maybe you

could start your own site, and those who wish to have their hopes dashed can

visit and feel like shit if they want.

EtG will go away because there is no way to say for sure bacteria in urine did not make it.
