Adderall cost me my job


Recommended Posts

First of all, welcome! And congratulations on making the decision to finally quit.

 

It may be a good idea to tell your fiancé about what's going on. He probably knows something is up (he definitely does, since you said he is suspecting that you have a drinking problem). I doubt he will be as disappointed as you think. He will more likely be relieved that you are taking action to get better, and he will most likely be a lot more supportive than you think. 

Quitting is ROUGH! I'm not going to sugar coat it, you have some hard times ahead of you. This is just the beginning. You will need to be able to lean on your fiancé through this time. You can also lean on the community here; there are some wonderful people here that have been through exactly what you're going through, and can provide the kind of support that no one else can. 

 

These are just my opinions. Only you know what is best for you. But either way, I'm glad you're here! :)

Got to tell your fiancé if he is meant to be he will support you but if he has no clue be prepared for the worse. How would he not notice with the nights without sleep in the past is my only question. I'd say after the amount of time close to myself you know deep down its time to quit. It's a fucking battle to stop but what the alternative at this point. Hope you feel welcomed here to post any crazy stuff I feel like not enough people let it all go on here.

Welcome-good for you for quitting and thank you for sharing your story.  This place has been a saving grace for me and I am so thankful to be able to come here and educate myself and vent and share stories.

 

My opinion only-think about telling your fiance'.  It will be hard to keep it from him because he has only known the "adderall version" of you.  You are going to probably seem much different to him and telling him may make the challenge of quitting...well maybe a bit less challenging.

 

 No matter what you choose to do you have made a remarkable decision to quit 

-and I am so happy that you've joined.  :)

I found that telling everyone I know, I even posted my quit story on facebook, helped me to have external accountability.  It also helped a friend of mine decide to not start taking Adderall after she read my post. 

 

Tell him.  He knows something is up, and will probably be relieved to know the truth. 

 

Welcome!

I am so glad you found us!  You're in the right place.  :)

 

Just know you can do this!  I am pulling for you!

 

This is an amazing journey you are about to embark on and one that will change you for the better in the end...as long as you are willing to stay the course and persevere through some hard times.  It's by no means easy getting off that shit, but just know there are lots of us here who are doing it and come out on the other side.  Whether or not you decide to tell your fiancé is completely up to you, but in IMO it would be a lot better if you knew you had his support and encouragement trying to quit.  A good support system is extremely helpful.  

 

Keep posting and know that we are here to help!

OMG, FinallyQuitting, you sound exactly like me. My sober self hates cigarettes, I am a runner, but when I am all cracked out on medicine I smoke all day and when I get home from work I drink wine glass after wine glass (I prefer boxed wine  :happy: ) I myself have not made the decision to finally quit for good because its easier for me to just avoid addressing the problem and keep on keeping on with my performance-driven, stressful, action and thinking and planning-filled job. But, I too, experience the same eating habits and feeling like I want to be able to enjoy normal moments and be a normal human being again. You said something about how some days you'll be LOLing watching a show with your boyfriend then other days you are expressionless. That is me with my boyfriend to a T. 

 

About your situation, that must be tough going through what you are going through when he hasn't experienced weed, cigarettes, coffee, you name it! I am glad you finally told him.

 

How are things going? Are you still sober from the Adderall? What has been the biggest reason for you sticking to staying clean?
