  1. ZK,

     

    Then perhaps you can pledge to set aside a time frame to work on your project. This forum is not only for huge commitments, but day to day commitments. So feel free to make daily or weekly pledges to yourself by listing them here, then later confirming whether you've met your goal. It can be as simple as pledging to wake up early tomorrow to get a good start on the day. "Together we can share, support, and build momentum towards our destiny.  

  2. iPledge to make it through this semester in 1 piece; that's all I can commit to at this point.

     

    FW - I knew we were close to the same age, but I didn't realize how close LOL.

    Maybe that's why we gel. lol. Anyway, making it through the semester ( in one piece ) is huge. The task of being in school alone is a huge commitment. School is my next step.  Keep us posted on your progress.

  3. Salve Jus,

     

    Well, it sounds like you have a lot going on, indeed. I like to think that even though I get extremely overwhelmed at times, having a lot going on is better than having nothing at all happening.  Boredom is most feared adversary these days. It seems to me you're making progress. Don't forget to let yourself off the hook every once in a while.  :blush: I'm glad you are feeling better today.  :D 

  4. This page is for anyone just starting out, or attempting to get that 1st 30 days of clean time, free from adderall.

    Anyone can post to this page:

    The format is simple; For 30 days pledge your sobriety to yourself and make it official by posting daily to this tread either "confirming" or "denying" whether you have abstained from taking addy for that day.

    Ex: Day 4: Confirmed!

    Do this for 30 days, and, at the end congratulate yourself on a tough but well worth it start toward rebuilding a new, sober, and more beautiful you!

  5. Thank you quitonce for having the kindness and guts to comment on the fear that I have used too long to have a graceful recovery. The truth is that I have made signifigant progress since the early days. It's just the snails pace of it and the setbacks that send the primal fear of "too much for too long" shooting through my spine again. I try to remain positive during these brief but persistent periods. It's a lot easier when I come here and find a friend in recovery.

     

    Justin, You have a good point about the brain fog being responsible for making us have less confidence when approaching new tasks or forgetting old ones. There are times when I feel impaired and make mistakes. There are other times when I feel like my memory has actually improved, by pulling names out of a hat and wonder, where did that come from? Have you experienced that as well?

    Ive experienced both sides of this coin Jon, however, when the latter happens I usually attribute it to my mind steadily repairing itself.
