Popular Post eric Posted April 11, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 Today is 3 months clean from Adderall and Tramadol!!! I'm officially the furthest I've ever been in my fight from both substances. As of this morning I've started my healthier eating and didn't have my usual Dr Pepper first thing in the morning. Only water and unsweet tea until I hit my goal weight and no sweets or foods with excessive sugar for the rest of the week. Then next week I'm gonna fast for 1.5 days and begin Keto again. A very very brief backstory. I struggled with Adderall and Vyvanse for 8.5 years, and tramadol for 5 years. Very high doses of stimulants off and on mixed with tramadol at times. Obviously all the horrible bad stuff that comes with both addictions, more so for me from the adderall. I stopped back in October for a couple of months then relapsed onto Tramadol for 5 weeks which led me to go on a brief adderall binge for a weekend. That all led to January 11, 2023 being Day 1 from both substances. I still occasionally consume alcohol at birthday parties or events but its nothing like it used to be, I can take a 6 pack and be totally fine compared to when I was on adderall I'd buy two 18 packs to make sure I didn't run out. At a crawfish boil the other weekend I was offered an adderall by a friend and I kindly declined and let him know that I'm done with it and there no was no conflict. So I feel like I've learned alot of lessons from my past relapse experiences and can see where things go and KNOW how I will feel if I take more of it. Overall, recovery hasn't been the easiest thing but its totally been worth it. I'm noticing what people were talking about on here about good days being peppered in there and hints of the better days to come. It's crazy to know that my life fully revolved around pills and when I would or wouldn't have them. Now I'm starting to look forward and think longer term and its amazing. Best of luck everyone!!! So far day 91 has been going great! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric Posted April 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 @SleepyStupid Thanks for the congratulations! I thought I was having a bad day yesterday but then realized my allergies were acting up. lol. But yes, I can't wait to get further along to where its "just another day". @GRFThank you!! I'm excited too and already feel more emotions than I have in years!! @ALA THanks! Congrats to you and we definitely can do this! Again, thanks to everyone and all members of this site that have contributed. I've read so much information over the years and the collective advice from multiple users on this site has helped me stay clean (Urge Surfing Technique has helped me tremendously). But not only the advice on how to deal with urges but the positive messages from people further in recovery that things will get better if you just give it time. -Start of my DAY 93 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric Posted April 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 100 days clean!!! Feeling excited about the clean time but also in a lull. Might have an extremely busy day tomorrow or might not. It's all up to what the weather decides to do. Just wanted to post that I've hit the 100 day mark and I guess its time to start calculating clean time in months instead of days lol. Best of luck everyone!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teresa Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 Congratulations! That's awesome I am close to that. I wish I felt a little more awesome but I guess just going to take time it took me years to do the damage so it's going to take time to undo it.
