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!

You are doing so great!!! Keep it up!!!

Dude. You are doing amazing brother. Keep it up man!!!!! <3

This one was originally intended to be about people but with some interpretive flexibility it applies quite well to those god damn stupid little pills. I am letting them infect my thoughts so much over the past couple months it drives me crazy. So this one is resounding with me. Go Will! I love him.

That is a good point. I may be using the term incorrectly but when I hear "dependence" I think of my body adapting to the drug, which is pretty easy to slide out of with a couple weeks of abstinence. "Addiction" on the other hand, is a fucking BEAST to deal with and (from what I am seeing from the veteran users of this site, and from my own experience of course), freedom from which is a battle that takes years of fighting one day at a time.

I don't think it's miniscule, it's that spark of humanity, of living in the moment. Adderall smothers it to the brink of death. It is a noble reason to quit, and you can do it! I definitely hear you there. I am living that challenge now. I am lazy, I can't stay on task or be disciplined when I really need to. I'm finding that building good habits is really hard, and it's really easy to fall off the wagon and get lazy again and have to start the climb all over again. But the spark, the zest for life, desire to love and be loved, the ability to experience intense and genuine, that's the really important distinction, emotion is worth enduring every failed achievement that comes as a result of quitting. Welcome to the forum; you are among friends. Let us know how we can help you!

I'm going to chime in with agreement as well. To be honest I wince whenever I read something along the lines of "I was supposed to refill my prescription yesterday but I'm not going to do it!". I try to be positive in my response but in reality I'm usually skeptical about the chance of success. Because I swore I would do this for months and months and months and my relapses were like clockwork until I finally just came clean and got myself actually cut off permanently. My advice is don't risk delaying or ruining your recovery just to avoid embarassment.

Woo hoo!!!!!!
