I think it's great. I think you're great. I think you are doing absolutely just star-spanglingly fucking great! I can't wait to congratulate you for finishing 60 days!

I like that this thread exists. In my recollection, it wasn't until after the 90day mark where I started to not feel the need to count in terms of days anymore.

It sounds familiar......

Regarding a 90 day thread, maybe we could totally make one? You could start a topic and just ask one of the admins to sticky it? I can relate to the things you are saying and it takes me back to when I was around the 50 day mark. This is the first time you've given an update in a while other than your day count. It's nice to know how you're feeling. I am not a pharmacist or a doctor so I can't say anything conclusively but I feel like I know in my heart that almost none of that damage is permanent. It just starts to feel that way since it takes so much longer than you'd expect to heal. Here's an example. My right eye would twitch constantly towards the end of my adderall use. After I quit, this actually persisted until some unclear point between 90 and 120 days. I was convinced this would never go away. At some point, the twitching didn't stop, but it moved! The bridge of my nose (the spot right between my eyes) would start to twitch instead. In hindsight maybe this was just a more mild form of the same twitch. But it occured to me a few weeks ago that it has completely stopped. And I can't recall exactly when. My guess is somewhere between 5 and 5 and a half months. For such a stupid little side effect to persist that long but eventually be repaired.... imagine all the other tiny little bits of damage scattered around our brains that are slowly repairing themselves without our knowledge. You are doing so awesome and keep up the good work!

I've been coping with depression by drinking. Not recommended.

so close! you rock!

which show are you excited for?

Totally!!!! I would lounge around all day in bed watching TV, then when the time came to actually go to sleep, my mind would be racing with thoughts (usually negative unfortunately) and would just feel too shitty to sleep. I highly recommend small doses of melatonin to help sleep. It works really well and is relatively quite easy to stop when you decide it's time.

congrats on day 18!

OMG SO CLOSE NOW!

sorry im addicted to tumblr some insomniatic nights

Edit: Sorry for the distasteful use of God's name. I know that is very offensive to some people I swear I didn't mean for it to be. I cropped it out of the image (it wasn't my comment).

Inspirational Quote from Orange ITN Black intro - "Taking steps is easy. Standing still is hard."

embrace your hunger don't deny yourself the snacks you crave but remember to eat healthy stuff too, even if you dont feel like cooking you can always break down and just buy pre-made stuff that is quasi-healthy congratulations on your progress so far!

magic man!

just do (1+1) whenever you need to do a 2! sorry to hear you had a bad day :< hope you are feeling better today

Thanks AA!! Carpe: Enjoy your camping trip! It should be very therapeutic to get away from all the technology and craving triggers that go with day to day life.

Ooo yes you are definitely not alone. Congratulations on making such a difficult decision. It will payoff a million times over!

I was a bit late reading this but, this makes me sooooo sooo happy to hear. You've taken the necessary step of reaching out for help to those who can protect you when things get tough! That is the ultimate commitment to quitting for good! Also yeah, the exercise thing. Personally I am a huge advocate of wall pushups. They are nice, easy, and gentle movements but they are great for re-activating your muscles and getting your body ready to be strong again. They gently elevate your heart rate giving you a little boost, without overdoing it. They feel great and even though they look easy.... try to do 3 sets of 40 its more challenging than it looks!

yeah walk up to the most well-liked person there and hit them over the head with a frying pan. then everyone will know you don't play games!

travelling! - living it up in a big city. Been too busy enjoying it and haven't thought of adderall hardly at all last few days

CreativeGuy: Now onward to the 60 day challenge! Congratulations man!!! ItsTIME: Awesome! I can't wait to see your days keep stacking up! Keep up the good work!
