formydaughter Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Hi Everyone, I'm sorry I haven't been around in awhile. I will be adderall free for 2 months on July 11(the day after my husband's birthday). My husband had a huge influence on me about quitting adderall. I still look for that ephoric feeling and that rush of energy. I also miss the "I can do anything on adderall feeling." My husband's peace of mind and my daughhter's well being are more important than me getting high!!!! I just miss the motivation i had on it. Today i'm feeling sorry for myself. I'm having a pity party for myself!!!!Ther are also a lot of positive changes i have seen since i stopped taking adderall!!!!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerokewl Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 2 months is awesome. It takes time for your brain to recalibrate. Read some of the articles here about motivation to understand what motivates you todo your best. The confidence you miss was a false confidence. The drug is a liar once you understand how the lie works you won't miss the euphoric hit. It gets easier over time your brain forgets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Greg Posted July 8, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I think in the long term...and obviously u have to let your brain recalibrate...but in the long term as long as you stick with it, you will lose that desire for that I can do anything feeling. Today I had a HUGE ass high stress presentation in front of --- and the idea of taking adderall for it was UNTHINKABKE..It would have totally made me mess up and probably make me sweat through my shirt and in my face from nervousness and have me too wired and nervous to speak straight. And I would never trust my behavior on it. I am long term clean from adderall and when I'm dragging I grab coffee as a pick me up and that works fine. I don't crave adderall for tiredness. I am actually still revved up from the presentation, lol. And I didnt need any adderall to add to what I'm feeling now. I'm three years 7 months clean and that's where I am now. I was snorting 300 plus mgs a day for years so I still suffer distinct adderall withdrawal. I'll call them adderall headaches that are extremely annoying and come and go. But those short period cravings would never drive me back to adderall ever. stick with it and things will change. You can do it, 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinW Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 At two months you are still learning how to crawl, don't pressure yourself to run yet. You are doing great! We all have down days but they become less frequent as time goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
