justjon Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 ok no more crack. I started to take adderall in college to cram before big tests. No big deal at the time, maybe once every month. Then I got a job out of college which I hated so I got a script to 30mg a day. Magic! The job got better, and I slowly lost myself. 4 years later and I'm still working in similar job, but I've become a very bitter, unhappy, no since of humor-asshole. ....And it time for a change. So today is my frist cold turkey day. I've stepped down to 15mg over the last 6 months so I'm hoping for the best with the cold turkey thing. My plan is to take it easy and maybe listen to some motivational audiobooks it's not a bad thing to have someone in your ear building you up. I'll try to keep writing if I can find the energy. I'm off to kick some drugfree ass, wish me luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Good luck, justjon! You sound like you're well-prepped and ready to take your cold-turkey beating, which won't be so bad if you've already stepped down to 15mg. Next step is finding a different kind of job. Keep writing updates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjon Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Day 2 and 3 - Guys things are not that bad without the little magic pills. In fact, I can feel some of my old self creeping back into my head. I'm not as productive at work, but who cares I hate what I'm doing anyway and that's the real problem. I feel tired but it hits heavy in waves. Which have been around 2 and 4 o'clock I have found that just closing my eyes for 5- 10 mins helps dramatically. I find that drinking a lot of water seems to help and watching sand-up to keep spirits up. Other that that things are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjon Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Days 4 - 11 Not as tired but I have found a increased need for Caffeine to get me through the day. Also weight gain is apparent, time to start back hitting the gym. I got offered an opportunity of a life time, my dream job. Starts in a few weeks very excited.
