Popular Post RobElliottComic Posted September 9, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Just checking in... I'm 8 days sober and feeling pretty good! I also haven't had a cigarette in 4 days and only 3 total over the past 7 days. Right now I feel super strong about staying sober and happy! Just wanted to check in and give an update. Running everyday again and eating much healthier WITHOUT the adderall. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBM Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Keep going and, when you look back...because you will, see the truth of Adderall and not the illusion. It's a harmful drug that plays with brain chemistry, affects the cardiovascular system and creates a false persona along with horrific physiological dependence. I've been off Adderall now for 14 months. Has it been easy getting sober? HELL NO. Has it been worth it? YES! What I miss about Adderall: NEVER FEELING TIRED; THE FALSE PERSONA OF CONFIDENCE AND BANTER; GETTING AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF SHIT DONE. What I don't miss about Adderall: BEING A SLAVE TO A PILL; BEING UNABLE TO RELAX OR BE PRESENT; DRINKING ALCOHOL TO CALM DOWN (I quit that too); CRASHING AND BEING MEAN TO MY KIDS; THE SHAKES...RAPID HEARTBEAT, NOT EATING, A SEX DRIVE THAT MADE ME OBSESSIVE; BUT MOST OF ALL...THE SHAME. I DON'T MISS THE SHAME. I've gained 25 pounds. So fucking what! My head is CLEAR. I sleep 7-8 hours per night. I am REAL again. Recovery is a process and most likely many of us Adderallics also must recover from other addictions and self worth issues. I'm writing poetry again. I'm doing well in a phenomenal sales job. I sometimes "think" I need Adderall to "keep up" but I KNOW that's bullshit! I pray for each and everyone of us to stay on the path of self truth and HEALTH! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMist Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Awesome! Good to hear that you are sober now, how I wish my elder brother was also like you. Even though you were just starting, at least you’re doing something to change your life. My brother has been alcoholic since the day after he got involved in a bloody accident, 11 years ago, since then he have been actively drinking till he passed out. My parents don’t know what to do to stop him from being an alcoholic, he always into trouble every time he’s under the influence of alcohol. We tried to understand him since he lost his wife and two kids, but he can’t be like this for his whole life. We already tried to consult some recovery consultant to talk to him and convince him to be admitted in a rehab center, but he’s still not listening, but we can’t lose hope. Currently, I’m searching for some rehab center that can help us, such as this Drug Rehabilitation Center Naperville that I’m reading right now. Hopefully, we will get some help from this rehab center. But if you guys know some alternative ways to help my brother, please don’t hesitate to tell me, we really need help.. L Your reply and advice will really be a big help to us, thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
