Jon Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Wow, it's already been 5 months? Congratulations Jon!! 12 years is a long time to be on adderall I can't even imagine. Me neither. I guess I was covering up a lot of pain in the begining, then I started working rotating shifts..... It could always be worse. Thank you Blesbro. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassie Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Nice work Jon. I can't believe it's been 5 months for you already! I remember at 5 months still feeling pretty crappy but really the days/weeks started going by much faster around that time. Before you know it you'll have a year under your belt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Congrats Jon! How does it feel? Thank you everyone for your valuable support. I feel like I know you all as friends as well as a support team. I wish time spent in recovery could paint a more accurate account of where a person really is in terms of healing, but time itself falls short in that respect. Everyone’s experience is unique to them. I can only say that I am in a better place now than I was at the start. I’ve experienced noticeable, but not notable, improvements in stamina and focus. I am still haunted by sleepless nights and have days when I do nothing at all. I always take aim at getting just one thing accomplished a day. There are still days where I miss the mark. I plod along each day with the knowledge I that am slowly improving and healing, It is out of conscious reach, but I sense it, and sometimes I can feel my heart glow because of it. My heart never felt anything on Adderall. Now there is a definate sign of healing! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerokewl Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 just keep plodding. I can tell in the tone of you posts you are getting better. We are climbing a mountain we don't need to see the top just keep heading up. We will get there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashley6 Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 At 6 months I didn't notice much change either. It's still a milestone, in that, it's a half of a year you've worked towards a happier life. Things will get better in time. You seem to have the patience that's so important in recovery! Keep on keepin' on... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep on keepin' on... I agree, I had kind of a "light bulb" moment around the 7 month mark but was still pretty thick at 6 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
