Day 1 Cold Turkey

It's almost been 10 years since I've been smoking weed daily. There's been days/weeks where I haven't smoked, like when I'm on vacation. But if I'm home, it's daily, 2-3x a day. I'm almost 27 and I feel like my brain has turned into mush. I've learned to become dependent on weed for any type of purpose or situation, good or bad.

Quitting smoking since I realized there is a chance I could become a flight attendant. I can only hope that the THC will be out of my system in time.

The thought of being sober fucking scares me. The chance of a better life and a job I could potentially love is what is motivating me. I've never even thought of considering the possibility of quitting before now. It's a good a time as any, for my health and my future. Happy to have found this subreddit

FA Application Timeline moving fast, worried about drug test

I did not expect it to move this fast, I worry about not being able to pass my drug test if I continue moving forward like this. I'm a daily smoker but I honestly would quit for this job, but I'm wondering if there's even enough time if I quit today.

4/30 - Applied on last day of application window closing lol and took assessment

5/1 - Invited to Virtual Info Session

5/4 - Attended Virtual Info Session

5/8- Invited to a pre-recorded interview today!!!!

I applied for fun, not knowing about when drug testing would be and thinking the path to inflight would be a lengthy process. I know now that they'd most likely drug test after the In-person interview after receiving CTO, or a couple days soon after.

I was thinking I just try to push off the deadlines as much as possible. It looks like I have one week to submit my pre-recorded, I guess I'm asking how long the timeframe is of scheduling the live virtual

interview and the in-person interview. Because I'm hoping if it's a timeframe of 1-2 weeks each, and give or take a couple days it takes to hear back from each step, I could successfully detox in time, a month or so? I would ofc use at home testing to track progress and drink lots of water and exercise.

If I need to pull out of the application process, I would. No use in getting blacklisted everywhere for years. But I really want this now! I think I'm gonna quit smoking now, see how far I can get in the application process, and if the deadline to schedule the in person interview approaches and I'm still testing positive, I'll withdraw. Would it look bad to pull out that late? I'd appreciate any and all feedback!
