    DWA - I wouldn't call it extreme. I quit cold turkey and then tried tapering because I thought it would be easier. Realistically, you are just prolonging the unpleasantness. You will take a year or two to heal regardless of how you quit. Be patient with it and you will achieve your goals.

    3 days of working out, that is awesome FW!!! How are things going for you otherwise? Is work going better for you?

    @Sweetcarolinee - Less than a week to go! You seem to be owning the 30 day challenge. @Luckyducky - keep fighting the good fight, do you have any strategies to restrict your access yet? @Freebird - any day I go to Target is a business meeting

    Business Trip - I will have limited access to this site so I'm bummed

    Do you expect me to push mow 2 acres of grass? No thanks.

    I thought the whole point of a townhome was that you didn't have to do the lawn or driveway. Sounds like you got ripped off! My lawn tires me out too though but at least I've got a rider.

    @SweetCarolinee - Way to go on getting through another weekend! @Luckyducky - glad to see that you are picking yourself back up! We all want to kill our spouses at one time or another; that's why they say there is a thin line between love and hate LOL.

    Keep the train moving in the right direction! What is your schedule / plan to kick this green eyed monster?

    The more that I think about this question, the more I believe that we need to try to focus on doing things that interest us. Reward yourself with one of these tasks for every crappy task that you complete.

    +1 to what Ashley said. Take a look at why you failed and set yourself up to make sure that it can't happen next time.

    Way to go FW, what type of workouts are you doing?
  14. JustinW
    I thought that you generated quite a lot of thoughtful responses from the other, more eloquent, members above. Either way, don't let a lack of answers be an obstacle. You sound like someone who has a lot of drive and ambition. This is well within your reach.

    Odds are that you are experiencing it; it has just gotten more manageable since the beginning of your quit. For me, it has always come in waves. The longer you're quit, the longer the time that you have between the lows and the shorter the lows last.

    @SweetCarolinee - Way to go on day 20, you are 2/3 of the way there! @Luckyducky - On those tough days, you can always come here, start a thread, and get support too. We are here for you for the good and bad times. You can do this!

    And Jon proves my previous point! Very eloquent my friend. There are certain situations that I feel inadequate to respond to too. @Freebird I thought it was 12 credit hours also, but I looked again and it's 14! The two middle classes are 4 credits each.

    Wow, MBA, you have your sites set much higher than I. Good for you! Best of luck at your workout today.

    YOU ARE DEFINITELY NOT ALONE!!! We are here for the good times and bad times so visit often and comment as honestly and openly as you need, even if it's just to b#%$@ a little here and there. Chances are good that a lot of people here have gone / are going through a similar experience. It sounds to me like you have a good head on your shoulders and I like that you are developing a plan for success. When you are ready, the 30 day challenge is an excellent way to have accountability and comraderie during the first month of your quit; it also gives us a chance to cheer you on. The original group through the 30 day challenge even did a 60 day challenge and it was awesome to watch their progress and growth along with the outpouring of support from our community.

    I can't string together the beautiful lengthy posts that Jon, QuitOnce, Ashley6, Occasional01, Cassie, InRecovery, and many others on this site can; so I try to write direct and encouraging posts. I can't really read long posts either, dang ADHD. I really appreciate your encouraging words. Your post above shows that you are more than adequate at putting your thoughts to screen! FYI, the classes that I am taking are Intro to Business, Principles of Management, Financial Accounting, and Macroeconomics on my way to a B.S. in Business Management eventually (I hope).

    Breezy!

    Wow, so much hits home about your story. It breaks my heart that you got a divorce along with all of the other heartache that you have experienced in life. Something tells me, probably personal experience, that the "d" word would not have crossed your mind if you had been adderall free. My heart really goes out to you. I understand the demotivation of going to a place that contains so many damaged relationships because of an adderall personality. Much of my coworkers think that I am anti-social and that hurts. We are the same age brother; you need to man up and quit this crap ASAP. You are a great manager and you need to quit beating yourself up about damaged relationships at work. Try to repair what you can and move on from what you cannot.

    Welcome to the forums Jay, I wish that I could tell you that recovery is a bowl of cherries and it's a breeze to get through but it would be a lie. It's hard work and you can do it. You have accomplished so much already in life which tells me that you have a lot of ambition. I will tell you from personal experience that you do not want to expose your children to an adderall dad. You will not have patience for a screaming newborn and you will not have a genuine emotional connection with them until you are off the drugs. Best of luck on your journey; we are all here for you!

    It would be cool if we could both complete our degrees at the same time. How much do you have left? You are / were pursuing a business degree if I remember correctly?
