1st, STOP DOING DUMB SHIT!!!!!

2nd, If you were in texas, you'd be taking that same test till you passed; so the idea that it sounds like they let it slide for six months to a year, you're lucky.

3rd, if the treatment provider and PO has let go of the last test, this test will likely cover the period of time from your last test to time of test.

4th, if your PO or treatment provider wanted to be ball busters, they could make you take a monitoring test, coving sexual re-offense.  If they do this, theoretically they can go back to start of probation or parole to time of test.

Lastly, and with all due respect; STOP DOING STUPID SHIT AND WORK YOUR DAMN PROGRAM.

Hope this helped

Tristar,

I think Irish gave you good advice. While one can argue the utility of PCSOT, the utility of treatment is without question. I am disheartened when I see some posters here with the goal of passing the polygraph coupled with a disregard for the treatment required to help them make more sane choices in life.

I am not privy to the consequences which may result if you were to come clean on your bad choices. However, I would think that bringing them up and taking it on the chin would show better progress in treatment than being caught as the result of a stressed polygraph.

Tristar, definitely stop doing bad stuff and work your program!! That being said, polygraphs exams are far from perfect and subject to false positives. If you haven't already download the free book on here,"The Lie behind the Lie Detector" and educate yourself. But most important again, just abide by your conditions and work your recovery. Dont give them a reason.

Sorry didn't see that post.  I am anything but vague usually.  Sorry if that is how I came across.  Give me a min

YES!! it all has been very helpful.. so if I fail this polygraph... the next one will be since that last poly? is that how yours works? 
   because it's absolutely hopeless for me if they keep going back to start of probation everytime I get a maintenance, cause I will never admit anything and just keep failing them until I get sent...
   I know its different everywhere but idk if the APA set standard limitation on time frames or what because like I said before seems a little counter productive and even kind of double jeopardy like...
   I've been clean and sober for 4 years not counting 2 relapses and viewed porn a few times as well... I thought my crime was not wrong because she was my girlfriend of 15 and I was 18 so I understand my actions were all crappity smacking soooo dumb, and I plan on not crappity smacking up anymore...

Tristar, how they do it in texas, they will keep covering since the start of your probation to test until you pass one.  I don't know how they do it there.

What I usually tell people is, just let it go it can't be all that bad.  Take the ass chewing, because that is probably what you will get unless you been re offending; yea, then you're going to prison.   

But if all you are holding on to is a few beers and punching the clown to some adult porn, that is just silliness.  Moreover, if you keep holding onto it and keep failing tests, your therapist might be able to dismiss you unsuccessfully from treatment; and that is 100 times way more serious than a few beers and punching the clown to Bettie Page (if ya know what I mean)   

I suggest you get over it, man up and unburden yourself from the weight you are choosing to carry around so you can start fresh.   

Even in texas, unless your PO or provider totally hates you, I haven't seen people revoked for a few beers and some adult porn on the first passed test.  The longer you hold it in though, the worse it will be when you finally let it out.  Seriously man.

So why aren't you disclosing this to your examiner? is it that you just don't like the guy?  I used to get a lot of confessions because the examinee didn't like the guy that was testing them before me

Look, I say dump and move on.   

It works wonders when you're not carrying all that weight into the testing room, your mind is on nothing then, whereas before it was on something.   

Ok, you had a few beers.... Alright, you punched the clown to some adult porn.  You want to impress your treatment provider? Dump, come clean, then tell him you feel better after coming clean; that way he knows you been carrying this around (though I bet he already suspects)

The only person you are hurting or fooling right now is you.  Dump it, go into the next test, clear it, then never have to deal with that time frame again.  Boom, fresh start, clean slate.   

Seriously, is carrying this around worth the stress you are clearly putting yourself under?  All that stress weighs down the heart.  That is a muscle ya know.  what happens when you over tax a muscle? The muscle pulls and gets hurt.  What do you think happens when that muscle pulls?   

See, you been looking at even this string wrong.  Today, right now, can be a new start for you.... A fresh start.... A clean slate.

If you don't like the examiners, tell the therapist and then go into that polygraph room fresh and renewed with the satisfaction that you didn't give him the power. 

If that is what it takes, because the most important thing, right now, at this moment, is you make that breakthrough.  You make the break toward emotional relief.  That break belongs to you and whomever you share that with and no one else.   

If you don't want to give the examiner the satisfaction, give the dump to someone you do want to allow to have the credit for the break though.

I don't know the particulars of your case, but if its a few beers and some adult porn, I think you'll be ok
