16 month checkin

[GettingOffOfIt]

I’ve been doing great.  I will post more updates tomorrow on this thread when I have more time but wanted to get this post in since today is my 16 month clean anniversary.

Withdrawal wise I don’t really have any negative effects anymore.  I have plenty of energy.  I haven’t suffered from any depression.  I’ve embraced who I am and just moved forward.  I try to focus on others and making their lives or day better.  I found that makes me feel great.  
 

I got a new job and have been there 3 months.  I doubled my pay and make well over 6 figures now.  I love my new job and I hate that adderall made me happy for so long in my crappy previous job that I hated when I got off of it.  As far as withdrawals,  I’ve consumed no alcohol and ate a healthy diet 70% of the time while exercising vigorously almost 100% of the time.  It definitely played a role but no way tell how big.  Compare to other success stories if you are interested.  

 

I drink up to a couple of cups of coffee per day.  I rarely take any l-tyrosine to focus.  I don’t take any l-dopa.  They used to help, but I have found I don’t need it anymore.  I have plenty of energy throughout the day as long as I sleep 8 hours and I do most of the time.  I got through the early stages by doing whatever work I could when I could do any.  I haven’t had to do things that way for a while.  
 

It’s almost like the person I used to be on adderall is just a distant memory now.  I am the person I always wanted to get back to.  
 

Oh and I went outside yesterday in 88 degree heat, and I didn’t get my adderall sunburn after 5 minutes!  It’s great.  I didn’t get burned at all actually.
