Popular Post LILTEX41 Posted November 12, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Hi everyone, It is with great joy I am able to say today marks my 5 year anniversary from quitting adderall. I wish I could tell you it's been an easy journey and quitting was simple and with zero setbacks. I can't tell you that, but what I can tell you is that in my experience it is a lifelong process that I will have to stay on top of until the day I die. The most important thing I've learned is to always remember, "Never ever ever give up." I think it's important to realize how everyone is different as well and no one approach is ever going to work for everyone. You have to find your own way and best strategy in order to reach your ultimate goal, whatever it may be. I got the idea from people on this site and other books and such about trying to moderate my drinking. I decided to give it a try for the past 5 months and have finally concluded it will just never work for me. For me, the only thing that has ever worked is 100% sobriety and I am back on this journey again and grateful to have finally arrived back at this place in my life. If you are trying to quit adderall because you feel you have an addiction to it, I highly suggest cutting out everything else as well for 30 days. Just try it 30 days and see how much better you feel. I've been up and down this roller coaster for so long and somehow no matter what happens I always arrive back to this point. It's so much easier than trying to control it and there is no risk of screwing up your life by giving up alcohol and drugs. Anyhow, I haven't posted in awhile now, but I am relieved to be back offer hope to others again. Best luck to all of you. You are in my prayers. Hugs!

SleepyStupid Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 yes, unfortunately as addicts we have crossed a line past which there is no moderation. there are other ways to live life.. well spoken, and congratulations on 5 years (: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
